Co-Media & Phoenix Center for the Arts are galvanizing filmmakers.

In 2026, Co-Media and PCA launched the Storytelling Co-hort — a partnership to create a storytelling ecosystem right here in the Valley of the Sun. Through hands-on incubators, topic-specific workshops, and curated events, visual storytellers learn to harness filmmaking as a discipline while getting real-world experience on various film and TV projects. This fall, participants of the Storytelling Co-hort will have the opportunity to join Co-Media in producing "Going Indie", a docu-series highlighting independent artists in the music industry, with each episode culminating in a live concert performance. Click below to apply for the Fall 26' Storytelling Co-hort.

How It Works

The Storytelling Co-hort is a 12-week program that runs twice a year, once in the Spring and again in the Fall. During the 12-week program, Co-hort participants get access to the following:

Incubator (Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced)
A comprehensive course that gives participants an opportunity to get real-world experience working on film and TV productions. By the end of the course, participants will create a piece that will be part of an ongoing Co-Media original series.
‍
‍Workshops (Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced)
Workshops are topic-specific classes on a variety of storytelling disciplines that run every other month. Through guided prompts and interactions, participants will get hands-on experience learning everything from pre-production to final production.

‍Events
Co-hort events are open to the general public and will include film and episode screenings, showcases, festivals, speaker series, and other creative programming. Participants get free admission to all events during their 12-week program.
