Overview

Mission

CINE builds and supports a community of professional, emerging and student film, television and digital content creators through the CINE Golden Eagle Awards, events such as CINE PitchFest and CINE Celebrates, the Marvin Hamlisch Film Scoring Contest, and related skill-building programming.

What it reported doing in 2017

CINE builds and supports a community of film, television and digital content creators, with a special emphasis on creating educational and networking opportunities for emerging, independent and student media makers with programs such as CINE PitchFest, in which 15 producers receive the opportunity to pitch ideas to A&E Netwrk (and students are given free tickets to attend); CINE Celebrates, to which student media makers are invited to attend and network with distinquished media mentors; and the Marvin Hamlisch Film Scoring Contest for Emerging Composers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
