Vans partnered with Ghetto Film School to launch a brand film fellowship designed to nurture young creative talent and explore the meaning of "Off the Wall" through original storytelling. Over 100 student filmmakers pitched their ideas to the Vans creative team in a multi-phase process that simulated real-world collaboration and creative mentorship. The initiative was designed to empower the next generation of filmmakers through hands-on storytelling, brand integration, and production experience.

Three filmmakers were selected to bring their concepts to life: Guinevere Alcaraz, Aiden Bae, and Alyse Arteaga. I worked closely with the GFS team and selected directors to support concept development, guide production, and ensure each piece reflected the Vans ethos while maintaining the filmmaker’s individual voice.

Vans contributed $250,000 to Ghetto Film School as part of this initiative, supporting the long-term development of emerging creative voices.
