What is Picture This? It's a two-year series of activities in support of regional filmmaking education, funded by the President's Initiative Fund program (a partnership of the Cleveland Foundation, the George Gund Foundation and Cleveland State University). Year 1 (2003-2004) included a collaboration between Cleveland State University and Independent Pictures (founders of the Ohio Independent Film Festival) on a production assistant training program, a 16 mm film shoot, nonlinear editing, and a short screenplay competition.
