Beeman Selected for Appalshop Film Cohort

Congratulations to current MFA student Sidney Beeman on her acceptance to the 2022-23 Appalshop Film Cohort!  The Film Cohort is made up of a talented group of twelve emerging filmmakers from across Appalachia. The goal of the program is to empower and uplift a new generation of filmmakers by connecting them with funding sources, a robust network of media creators, and freelance opportunities that will enable them to gain professional development experience while building their portfolio. Under the direction of Director of Films Willa Johnson, Beeman and her fellow cohort members will attend a slate of training workshops and pitch film ideas to be produced in 2022-23.
