ODFW's Mission is to create opportunities for young professionals in the arts and entertainment industry in Northern Virginia and the DC Metro area. ODFW does this by bringing students out of the classroom and having them work with and alongside seasoned professionals and their clients. ODFW aims to be a home for young creatives attempting to forge a path forward by providing them a safe space to develop their own voices and to chart a path forward towards long lasting and sustainable careers.

As these young filmmakers move forward in their careers ODFW looks to build unique services and offerings to help build, support, and expand film, television, media production within the state.
