We Don’t Talk About Chris, A Film Festival From New Milestones Foundation, is a unique film festival to help raise awareness about the stigma and struggle of living with mental illness.
Each film’s subject matter should focus on a mental-health topic. The films should expand awareness of mental illness and counter the stigma of those affected by mental illness. The films can be shot on film, video or be any form of animation.

stimTVnetwork, On-line (continuous)
Deadline/ Fee: none/none
Here is how it works; your students submit their films to our network for the following programs.
1. Promos and Station ID’s: We will use your students’ shorts, excerpts of feature films, animations, experimentals or videos as Station ID’s and Promos for the network. A few seconds will stream as part of our regular programming and be discreetly emblazoned with our lovely logo. These segments become “clickable,” enabling users to view a longer form. 
2. Stream on Cinema Channel: Your students will also have the  opportunity to stream their work as part of our regular programming  on our Cinema channel along with films from 20th Century Fox,  Paramount, Disney and many independents like Lion’s Gate and Image  Entertainment.
