As a grassroots movement, with a volunteer team, Breaking Through The Lens relies on the generous contributions of our community to carry-out our work.

We are planning key events for 2025 where we will invite our finalist filmmakers. By donating, you will become a part of our BTTL community and directly support our cohort in launching their projects, along with making our workshops and panels possible. All donors will be the first to hear of our events and receive priority access.

Join our “Filmmaker Circle” with a donation of $500 and above. You will receive:

✔ Complimentary access to all BTTL workshops through to December 2025.
✔ A waiver code to submit for free to all BTTL Grant opportunities.
✔ VIP guaranteed access to our festival events.
✔ 1:1 Strategy Session with a member of our BTTL Team.
✔ Donation Acknowledgment letter for your tax records.

Please note that online donations incur a 2.9% credit-card processing fee. To avoid this fee, you may donate via ACH / Wire Transfer (details available here).

Following your donation, you will receive an acknowledgement letter by email for your tax records. Thank you for joining us in this important journey. Please don’t hesitate to get in contact with any questions: daphne@breakingthroughthelens.org
