HAPPY HOLIDAYS!  

Thank you for an amazing year at MiFILM. While the world was crumbling, we proved that together we could mobilize and make a change in the lives of our communities. We could not sit back and wait for others to see how essential artists are. You constantly showed up for yourselves, for your family, and for each other, and we are excited to continue to show up for you in 2021 and beyond. This month we are reflecting on our progress and looking forward to the future. The MiFILM Branded Lab kicks off in February! Five finalists will be notified by January 20th, 2021, and announced exclusively on our platforms. If you have applied to the Lab, you will be notified via email of your status. Some BIG things are coming for the MiFILM Community and we can't wait to share the news with you. For now, we just want to wish you happy holidays, and we would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the lives we lost this year, whether through COVID-19 or police brutality and racial injustice. 2020 was a year of immense growth and we are forever thankful. While we’re reflecting, what revelations did you make this year? Send us our highlights of 2020, and what you’re hoping to take with you into 2021 at [email protected]. See you next year! Brittany + Ian
