We’re happy to announce that The Lower 9: A Story of Home documentary has received a grant from The Caucus for Producers, Writers and Director’s Foundation.

Emerson College in Boston, MA published an article on Matthew Hashiguchi, Elaine McMillion and The Lower 9: A Story of Home documentary.

The Caucus for Producers, Writers & Directors Foundation is a nonprofit founded in 2000 to promote diversity in the entertainment industry through content and the personnel behind the camera. Its primary goal is to help launch the professional careers of student filmmakers from groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the film, video, and television industry. It achieves its goal through its grants and mentoring programs. Through its grants program, student filmmakers from diverse backgrounds receive financial assistance to complete their thesis projects.
