Welcome to
I Can Thrive

Our mission has always been a simple one...​ to share our experience to help fellow creatives find a foothold in an ever evolving industry.  

Since the inception of the initiative, we have supported artists into placements for brands, West End productions, touring productions, voice, presentation, feature film and television work.  All this alongside our in-house development initiatives.

​

In the summer of 2018, Mentor Through Film completed its first full length feature film:

BEING GRACE. The project managed to gain international distribution shortly after release.

​

In the summer of 2019, A MATTER OF CAUSALITY, our second feature length project, completed principal photography. This project has provided opportunities for new and emerging actors to show off their skill in front of the camera, and brought new talent in play in behind the scenes roles as well. A MATTER OF CAUSALITY has achieved recognition with selection at festivals in Europe, America and Canada, and won Best Indie Feature at GFFA Los Angeles and Best Thriller Film at Vancouver Independent Film Festival.  We are exceedingly proud of the awarding of our actors for their beautiful work in front of the camera, receiving awards for Best Ensemble Cast, Oniros Film Festival; alongside Best Actor (Bright Skrettingland) and Best Young Actress (Juliette Boor) at GFFA Los Angeles. This Feature commenced release on Amazon Prime Video, along with additional regional engagements in March 2021.

​

The program completed its third feature, ICON OF BETRAYAL, in January 2021.  This project was filmed in the summer of 2020; while following all guidelines for a COVID-safe filming environment and teaching our mentees to keep working and striving through challenge and adversity, and it features original music composed by Helga Ragnars.  Icon of Betrayal has so far won Best Indie Feature at Oniros Film Awards New York, and has achieved two Accolade Awards of Special Merit - for Feature Film and Lead Actress (Isabel Nesti). Additionally, Isabel also received the Best Actress Award at the South America Awards, and the project gained accolades for Best Production Design.  Finally Icon of Betrayal received Best Indie Feature at GFFA, Los Angeles.  Helga Ragnars and Brian James Twiddy won Best Original Song for their collaboration and we won Best Indie Filmmaker for Director Annarie Boor.​

​

In recent years, we have expanded our work to support additional avenues, starting with our work with musician and creative Rebecca Weiss, helping to create her first music video, followed by musical releases for Rebecca as well as young creative Bella Tordin.

We have further expanded our process to develop writing opportunities. Brian James Twiddy's first novel, 'Blessing', is now in publication and available at all good suppliers.

​

We greatly appreciate your support to help build a platform for the talent of tomorrow to thrive.
