Here’s how CALL TIME works: the Fellows (i.e., trainees) collaborate with a full-scale crew of industry experts to write and produce a short film. Pre-production meetings double as workshops, where department heads give the Fellows a crash-course in the tasks associated with each department. Finally, the Fellows are hired as PAs (production assistants) during production, working under the department heads who show them the ropes. 

The Fellows graduate CALL TIME with all the necessary qualifications and assets to launch a career as film crew. They receive a legitimate credit on a full-scale production, which is the most essential (yet elusive) qualification for an aspiring film professional. Fellows also develop a substantial professional network via the experts who train them and lead the production.

Each cohort of CALL TIME is captured on camera by a documentary crew, resulting in an inspiring story of the Fellowship collaborating with the film community, overcoming obstacles, trial-by-fire learning from experts, and ultimately launching their careers in the film industry.
