Just a few days left to help us get to $250K by September 30! From #FiFellow to Film Independent’s Director of Artist Development, Angela Lee shares the story of her first yes. “Josh Welsh gave me my first yes in 2011 when he accepted me to participate in Film Independent’s Fast Track Finance Market with a project called Left-Handed Girl with filmmakers Shih-Ching Tsou and Sean Baker; a long gestating film that premiered earlier this year at Cannes and is Taiwan’s 2026 submission to the Oscars. He then gave my project Songs My Brothers Taught Me our first yes when the project’s writer/director Chloé Zhao was accepted into the Screenwriting Lab and me in the Producing Lab. Josh’s belief and Film Independent’s early support of our work was pivotal in helping all of us grow into the careers we have today.” ❤️ Help more storytellers get their first yes by donating at the link in bio.
