The Wounded Warrior Regiment will identify active duty wounded Marines and Navy Corpsmen to be student participants in this first-of-its-kind career training and job placement program. The Foundation is simultaneously working with the Wounded Warrior Regiment to seek out combat wounded, ill or injured Marines who have served our country since 9/11 and have a passion to learn filmmaking skills.

Award-winning professionals have developed a curriculum of classroom and field instruction, as well as personal mentorship, to equip these young Marines to pursue careers in the media, arts and entertainment fields.

Collaboration and Leadership
Learning new skills from our assembled film team, wounded Marines will train among each other while transitioning to new careers. A Marine never faces battle alone, nor should he or she in recuperation. Even bed-ridden Marines can learn how to connect through computers and cameras with other Marines, family members, friends and/or job opportunities.

Healing Through the Art of Storytelling
Sharing experiences with fellow service members and the American public will reinforce the brotherhood and spirit of the Marine Corps team. Telling these stories can serve as an occupational and therapeutic healing tool on many levels, from TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) patients to those suffering from PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), to those Marines requiring long-term physical rehabilitation.
