Last month, SNF Parkway Theatre / Maryland Film Fe

Last month, SNF Parkway Theatre / Maryland Film Fest celebrated its 25th anniversary with a compelling slate of content that elevated both acclaimed and emerging filmmakers. We're delighted that projects from four @saulzaentzinnovationfund in Film & Media at Johns Hopkins fellows were among the festival's 40 selected films.

In 2020, SZCF grantee @berkeleyfilmfoundation (BFF

In 2020, SZCF grantee @berkeleyfilmfoundation (BFF) facilitated a matching grant between the Nancy P. and Richard K. Robbins Family Foundation and SZCF to support Make a Circle, a film by Jen Bradwell and Todd Boekelheide. The documentary was early in its production at the time, tracking how the pandemic affected workers in a pre-school program in Berkeley, CA. Not knowing this story would grow to illuminate larger issues of inequality, education, and mental health, the funding from this partnership allowed the filmmakers to jumpstart production and get noticed by other funders.

👏 On May 5, 2024, the film opened with a bang—premiering at DocLands to a sold-out crowd, where it received the festival's coveted Audience Choice Award.

The support given to Make a Circle exemplifies how Berkeley FILM Foundation helps local, independent filmmakers who are making films with national resonance and influencing social and political change.
