With support from the California Arts Council, The Chimaera Project will assist 4 filmmakers identifying as female to complete projects with social issues at the heart of each project. By providing technical support and funding assistance we give visionaries the resources to create and give voice to critical storytelling. The 4 projects will build on community collaborations using filmmaking as the artistic vehicle. The project will culminate with public events and screenings.
