Track Building
We’re aiming to create something a bit more lasting – The foundations of an institution.
But building foundations is not an easy task. Where to start? Where to go? How to get there?
Imagine you’re walking on a barren land, wanting to go from Point A to Point B.
Even when we know where to start and where we want to go with a general direction, it’s still hard to stay straight.
In other cases, it can become too daunting – the myriad of choices being unnecessarily difficult for some or , worse yet, leading to the eventual surrender for others.
It’s far easier to walk with a guide or similarly to follow along previous steps (or a known tracks). After many trips back and forth, the guide is no longer necessary and the previous footsteps and path have become something far easier to traverse – a road.
This is the essence of institution building.
So we aim to create tracks for the main components: One for Funders, one for Filimada, and one for Creatives.
Track Building for Funders
One of the main tracks we’re interested in building is accustomization to transparency and accountability through repetition.
Similarly, with an antithesis to ad hoc mentality, the regular contributions induce members and supporters at the very minimum to be reminded they are part of something.
These are the main reasons why the amounts chosen are what they are.
Track Building for Filimada
Filimada’s track building is framed by those of the other two, it’s bounded by them.
Through repeated interaction with Funders, it’s not only obligated to remain transparent but also manage well.
As Filimada engages with Creatives, it’s forced to develop optimal environment and relationships within the limitations of its mandate.
Track Building for Creatives
Understandably the current dilemma in film making is complex and nuanced. But simply put -the infrastructure is missing.
But before dealing with that, we need to address the skill level issue – particularly for those who are marginalized or live outside the two large cities.
So our track building focuses on these two. For example, one of the methods will be relying heavily on initially is the use of video templates for creatives to follow.
