Bureau of Creative Works is a year-long film experiment which will give 12 independent filmmakers a small budget to produce 12 original short films. Founded by Erica Hampton and Mike Ambs, Bureau of Creative Works has teamed with 10 filmmakers and is leaving two slots open for two more. They are planning to release a new, original short film each month starting in Spring of 2016. The year-long film experiment is launching a Kickstarter campaign beginning today. "The Bureau is focused on bringing together people who appreciate and see value in supporting short films and the people behind them — and we believe that audience is out there," said Hampton. The idea arose as there is an increased interest in short film content, though it's still challenging for filmmakers to get funded for their short creative works.
