This program aims to bring emerging & established Kachin media makers out of their geographically isolated homeland for a three month residency with access to international advisors ready to help them with their projects. The residency program includes a comfortable space for living & working in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
These projects are either; editing a film, writing a screenplay, editing a large body of work or creating a photo book.

With more support Sakse for this important project. We would like to add food & transportation stipend which will allow a much wider and more diverse group of artists to join.
For four artists to do this residency in one year is would cost under 5,000 USD and would have a huge impact of the quality & quantity of media coming out of Kachin.
