A Post-Production Home in the South

My name is Shani Bert, a filmmaker and creator. After being displaced from my home on October 7th, I returned with a mission—to tell this region’s stories through film. Your loan will help make this dream a reality.

Micro lending, Macro Impact

After being displaced, my work came to a complete halt. When I returned, I decided to expand my business and open a new studio. This loan allows me to renovate the space, purchase professional equipment, and establish a high-quality post-production house in the south, giving filmmakers the resources they need to create independently.

My business - My spark

I specialize in video editing and color grading, helping local filmmakers bring their visions to life. I also lead photography and editing workshops to strengthen the film industry in the south. The new studio I’ve opened in Sderot provides a space for filmmakers to work and collaborate, fostering a thriving local cinema scene.

A few more words

The south has faced immense challenges, but I believe that creativity must go on. I returned here to be part of rebuilding the local culture and to provide a home for creators. Your support will help me keep telling the stories of the south, from the perspective of those who live here.
