The core curriculum for many of the trainings, workshops and programs at Motion Picture Industry Institute is the legacy of the acclaimed industry skills-building training programs at Filmmakers Foundation, w

hich was founded in 1995 by a group of industry professionals who wanted to give back by helping those who were attempting to launch and further careers in the entertainment industry to benefit from the lessons that they had learned "the hard way". With the support and partnership of such industry organizations as The Writer's Guild (WGA), The Screen Actors Guild (SAG), The Directors Guild (DGA), Sony Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney Company, and many leading industry professionals, Filmmakers Foundation grew quickly and soon had three major programs: The Los Angeles Independent Film Festival, the industry skills-building training programs, and a nonprofit indie filmmaking production collective. The Los Angeles Independent Film Festival was spun off on its own, where it evolved away form the focus on the "independent" and is now called The Los Angeles Film Festival. The indie filmmaking collective group became what is now known as the Filmmakers Alliance. The industry skill-building programs are now the core programs here at MPII.
