Film & TV Sponsorship

Cadence is thrilled to venture into the world of storytelling, entertainment, and art through film. In recent years, we’ve produced an award-winning original film and several short films, using cinema and TV as powerful mediums for storytelling. Our Sitelines BLM short films highlight stories from BIPOC writers, while The Taylows is an original thriller created by local teens, exploring Richmond’s complex history with racism and its impact on the city today.

These projects have energized Cadence, our audience, and our talented creators, who have infused their souls into these innovative new works. And it’s only left everyone hungry for more.

We have dreams to create even more boundary-pushing TV and film projects in the future, giving talented actors, writers, and filmmakers a chance to receive mentorship and hands-on experience through new avenues. From paying our teachers and mentors, crew, editors, sound designers, and writers, to escalating production costs, locations, and more; the cost of these films adds up.

We need your support! We invite you to join us in this important work by making a donation or becoming a corporate sponsor. Every contribution, at any level, makes a difference.
