History of Giving and Community Films

History of Giving

Community Work
Set on a Hill Community Programs in conjunction with our non-profit Estadio Magazine has impacted the community in numerous ways. Within the last 12 years we have already accomplished so much. We are doing charity work through our Princess Ellie programs as well.

2012 Charity Projects

🎬 In 2012 We started doing Community Films and incorporated 5 Youth in our Television Shows that Aired on Mundo FOX.

📚 In 2012 we helped a High school student gain a summer internship position as a Bookkeeping Analyst where she learned how to reconcile account, use QuickBooks, and scale balance sheets. She earned $10 per hour as a high school student and learned a transferable skill that she can use in any city she decides to go to college in. That student, who was a triple minority—African American, female, in a single parent home– now has her first year of college paid for, due to our training in fundraising and saving for college.

2013 Charity Projects

🗂️ In the summer of 2013 we hosted an Education and Career Fair where we brought in two career panels, 3 speakers, and trained students on job, college, and career options.
The event was in partnership with two non-profits, Earth’s Angels Conference of Internal Hope Fellowship Church and Solutions for Teen Life. The event was hosted by Almeda Mall and the program benefited both non-profit organizations. Set on a Hill was glad to be able to give away three scholarships during the event.
🎓 In the fall 2013 one of our students in our summer career and college training program, after applying the techniques we taught in our course, earned $27,000 in scholarships and grants for the 2013-2014 school year.

 

2014 Charity Projects

🇧🇷 In 2014 we became partners with the Consulate General of Brazil in Houston. We also traveled to Manaus Brazil and Recife Brazil in order to connect with local avenues and to determine their needs. While in Brazil we filmed fan correspondence for MundoFOX.
📜 In the fall 2014 we gave away $1150 scholarship worth of credit to Thomas and Thomas Law Firm to two students for
a Pre-Educational Scholarship. This scholarship assisted students before they start attending school, to prepare them to qualify for scholarships.

2015-2017 Charity Projects

In 2015 we partnered with Rice University HACER program fundraise for a scholarship component to their club. Never in the history of HACER have they had their own scholarship fund, until now.
In 2016 we donated our live performances to multiple schools and children’s programs. We donated toys and books to international and local California elementary schools.

In 2017 we helped a dancer to prepare her for the Los Angeles market by creating a talent resume, producing her head-shots and producing two reels for her portfolio.

Community Films – Make Films Together

Vision

Our Community Films project is where we create opportunities for youth to be in films and tv shows through a group of Industry Producers that are here to make a positive difference.

The vision of this community impact project is to:

  • To give youth the chance to be featured alongside of a film or streaming series project
  • To give youth their first IMDb credit
  • To give youth a chance to win film festival awards (Some projects are submitted to film festivals*)
  • To build a community of supporters around youth that will help them with future goals with mentorship and encouragement

 

Foundational Voices are community actors and voice-over artists that get the chance to submit for foundational supporting roles in the film.

WHAT OUR COMMUNITY HAD TO SAY

TESTIMONIALS

Jamal VocalChef

"I really enjoyed the audition cheat sheet, which helped me with an idea for my next viral video!"

Elizabeth T.

"I learned that I can actually create cool characters!"

London P.

"This was super exciting, and I found a whole bigger group of people who are working VO actors."

Susie H.

"I no longer feel imposter syndrome! I am a children's audiobook narrator."

Adam R.

"I'm going to use my character in my upcoming "singing-for-voiceover" demo, so this challenge has given me another chance to focus on that character, to really own it. I would certainly recommend this to my VO colleagues. It's great to have a goal in the outside world to strive for."

Kemdi N.

"I loved this experience! Throughout this process, I learned that you have to take your time to find a script that fits your voice and when you read slowly take your time and elongate words, it will sound soo much better! I 100% would recommend this to other people! Overall, This was so much fun to record in my own bedroom."
