A unique Mosaic Event is in the books as we adapted to match the unique challenges of 2020. Due to COVID-19, we brought our signature annual event online to ensure students could practice social distancing and still engage with world-class creative and digital media talent. Thanks to this new digital format, hundreds of students from Michigan, Georgia, Florida, and across the United States interacted with the event as it was broadcast globally from Celebration Cinema North. The new digital format also brought new and familiar speakers to the program, including event-favorite Phillip Boutte Jr and new headliners, MUV – a transmedia company headquartered in Mexico City.

We didn't stop there though — during the event, we announced the launch of the Mosaic Youth Advisory Council and previewed an online program coming next year that will provide quality digital workshops and opportunities to collaborate and expand audiences in new ways. Keep your eye on our website and YouTube channel to see playback clips from the event.

Every dollar you donate today will support our next generation's storytellers, creators, and leaders as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond!

Thanks to Mosaic Film Experience's donors, community partners and generous sponsors, we continue to work with teachers and students to help them learn, create and share in the digital realm. Equal parts competition, festival and educational experience, we’re especially committed to using exposure to the world of digital media as a means to open career horizons for students in urban schools who face career and social headwinds of poverty and race. We’re teaching tomorrow’s content creators to navigate media culture and to use storytelling in their everyday lives – a skill that will help them succeed no matter where their careers take them.
