ASFI's programming focuses on two major goals: ushering professional mentors into schools to mentor and support students who present particular talent, skills, and advanced interest in the film industry; and constructing a school-to-industry pipeline that students could engage in to assist them in work placement and college admissions after high school graduation.
To further advance these goals, the program consolidates one-on-one mentoring techniques with group hands-on workshops to introduce individual students to complex concepts and technologies, while providing supervision and mentoring which guides them through the theory and practice of engaging advanced technologies and software. In its involvement of distinguished industry and community leaders, ASFI aims to bring together the South Florida community under a single banner with a unified goal: Offering students opportunities to create original works with guidance and mentoring of leading industry creatives; ultimately resulting in a pipeline between participating schools and creative industries.
