TFT alumni, now a group of 100 individuals, continue growing as a strong collective by collaborating on projects and advancing their careers successfully, together. Year after year they remain engaged with TFT by attending the festival and other alumni events.
With every passing year our commitment to TFT's mission of inclusion and communal advancement is strengthened by the recurrent support of the entertainment community, but more importantly because we have witnessed the evolution and artistic growth of many of the alumni following the program. This year we have come across an incredible group of storytellers from across the country that represents a myriad of experiences within the diverse and complex Latine identity. We are excited to share their work with the Hola Mexico audience.
Over the years, TFT has enjoyed the support and presence of: Warner Media's 150, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), NewFilmmakers LA, the Sundance Institute, Hillman Grad Ventures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Universal Pictures as well as multiple programs aimed at talent development and career advancement.
