The NFMLA CineSessions program provides Los Angeles area high school students with hands-on film production experience and career mentorship, connecting them with industry professionals for mentoring. The program supports 220+ students annually from over 37 local high schools, offering valuable career preparation through workshops, real-world productions, and connections to paid internships.

NFMLA's CineSessions High School Student Media Mentorship Program invites LA County High School students to participate in an array of opportunities that are offered on a monthly basis throughout the year. These interactive programs explore various areas of entertainment, including but not limited to production opportunities and general careers in media. The program is focused on diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility and offers students access to career pathways and education while serving as a workforce development tool for residents.

NFMLA will host the 9th edition of the organization’s annual On Location: The Los Angeles Video Project at Sunset Las Palmas Studios on October 5th, 2019. The project invites local LA independent filmmakers from diverse communities to express their vision of LA by crafting a film under five-minute long based on the prompt “What’s your L.A.?” NFMLA then gives these artists the opportunity to showcase their films to hundreds of local residents at an event in the heart of Los Angeles.

NFMLA accomplishes these goals with 3 programs: The NFMLA Monthly Screening Series, Stage 5 Interviews & On Location: The LA Video Project.
