We have curated an hour long program of locally made short films, focusing on underrepresented communities, including the premiere of "How to Eat an Elephant," the first short film made under Tricky Ink Productions' Training Ground Films initiative. With this initiative, our team selects a script to produce once a quarter, out of nationwide submission, highlighting underrepresented communities. We implement a unique on-set mentorship hierarchy, designed to help emerging filmmakers and film students get hands on experience on a real film set.

PLAY DATE (5 minutes) - Chesi Ho
