$24,000 Goal

Invest in North Texas filmmakers.

When more people have the chance to create, work, and build creative careers here, all of North Texas benefits.

Pegasus Media Project opens doors into film and media for young people and emerging artists, especially those who have historically had the least access to those opportunities.

We connect them with education, equipment, working professionals, mentorship, hands-on production experience, and real pathways to creative careers.

That investment has a ripple effect.

Artists earn.
Mentors teach.
Productions hire.
Stories get told.
Young people begin to see possibilities for themselves they may not have seen before, and North Texas keeps more of its creative talent right here at home.

Your donation supports our work with artists in  workforce development, film and media education, mentorship, economic opportunity, and creating pathways into the industry. It also helps us cultivate film families, communities where artists find collaborators, support, and a sense of belonging.

At Pegasus, we provide tuition-free education, professional training, equipment, mentorship, hands-on production experience, and connections to working artists and the film industry.

We create spaces where people from different backgrounds, neighborhoods, and generations can learn together, create together, and tell the stories of the communities they know.

We believe North Texas shouldn't just be a place where films are made. It should also be a place where FILMMAKERS ARE MADE—and where our own filmmakers get to tell the rich and varied stories of our communities.

Your gift helps make the practical parts of that possible:

  • putting cameras and equipment in the hands of emerging filmmakers

  • providing production supplies

  • covering meals during long training and production days

  • helping with transportation so someone can get to an opportunity

  • bringing working artists, mentors, and industry professionals into the room

  • keeping our education and training programs tuition-free

Because our programs are offered at no cost to participants, your support helps ensure that someone's ability to pay isn't what determines whether they get through the door.

Our North Texas Giving Day goal is $24,000 by September 17th, and we want everyone to know how you can help! 

Give what makes sense for you:

  • $10 or $25 joins with gifts from others to help cover the everyday costs of keeping our programs accessible.

  • $50 or $100 helps us meet needs like equipment, meals, transportation, and production supplies.

  • $250, $500, or $1,000+ helps sustain the training, mentorship, and hands-on opportunities that move emerging filmmakers toward paid creative work.

Every gift helps remove one more barrier between talent and opportunity, and helps build a North Texas where more people can make films, build careers, and tell our stories.

Invest in in PMP! Invest in North Texas filmmakers. Invest in the stories that come from here. Invest in the people who will tell them.


Mission

Pegasus Media Project champions inclusive, transformative storytelling from a holistic perspective in film and media arts, empowering underrepresented communities with comprehensive education, collaborative works, and career pathways.

PMP envisions a future where inclusion is the driving force behind a thriving film and media arts industry. We strive for a narrative landscape where every voice is celebrated. Where artists lead, innovate, and contribute to an authentic film and media landscape.

Needs

Our goal is to raise $24,000 for our Career Pathways programs: the Multimedia Apprenticeship Program (MAP.) This will assist us in giving our new 2026-2027 apprentices the opportunity to work and learn under the mentorship of skilled industry professionals.

Donations directly support free access to our programs via free access to equipment, craft services, and film production costs.
