Built for the creative talent already here.

Alabama is full of people with taste, curiosity, and ideas. What many have lacked is access: to training, mentors, equipment, collaborators, and real opportunities to practice.

Focused on skills that travel across industries.

AlabamaCreates begins with three core disciplines that shape how stories, brands, products, and ideas reach people.

Brand

The visual and strategic language of an idea. Identity, design, art direction, and the systems that make something recognizable.

Motion

The moving image. Film, video, animation, editing, and the production work that brings a story to life.

Interactive

The digital experiences people use, explore, and participate in. Web, product, immersive media, and emerging creative technology.

Motion | Youth Pathway

Film Exchange

A youth filmmaking fellowship for Alabama high schoolers. Fellows produce professional-grade work alongside working filmmakers and earn a creator kit to keep. Active in Central and Southeast Alabama.
