# 5.1.2 Example - Bridge Builder Arts

**Summary:**

Film is a career path not only for actors, but also for cinematographers, techies, carpenters, bookkeepers, caterers, designers, hair and makeup, and more. Bridgebuilder Cinematic Arts was founded and run by award-winning artists who themselves are building a new pipeline for an industry in need of talent and equitable inclusion. Bridgebuilder works with youth who are combating societal issues by creating an alternative to traditional jobs found through vocational training. Bridgebuilder believes the non-traditional approach gives youth better agency over their lives while providing a platform for youth to become the narrators of their own lives.
