Overview

Mission

Frame: work seeks to foster communication between the artists, producers and engineers who create visuals for entertainment. Our platform serves to empower the creative video community through inspiration, education and professional development, and to nurture the professionals of tomorrow. Our goals include: developing best practices and thought leadership around industry challenges, stimulate conversations in formats focused on only our community, building relationships between people in an open sharing, tool agnostic environment, inspiring new opportunities for professional growth, helping new talent find its place in the industry, increasing diversity by celebrating the work of historically underrepresented groups, serving as an education partner to students, educators, mentors, clients and vendors.

What it reported doing in 2024

After attempting to fundraise for our third in-person conference we were unable to collect funds and support another event. Instead we hosted a series of small meetups with local sponsors to continue to grow the community and support future gatherings. We grew our audience by 50 percent.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict
