About Me


..
HATCH is a year round program, designed to develop and foster the growth of creative minds through mentorship. Since inception in 2004, Hatch has successfully developed an environment, from Hatch Fest to Hatch Labs that strikes the enthusiasm and stimulation of young artists creativity throughout the world, by connecting new filmmakers, musicians, photographers, writers and visual artists with the movers and shakers in the entertainment industry.
HATCH creates a world of opportunities and invaluable lessons to the up and coming in the business through a series of intimate workshops, panels, one on one collaborations and networking occasions. The unique partnerships with student talent and industry professionals make stars into superstars and benefit both mentor and student. Students sponge the years of experience and wealth of knowledge that mentors provide; and mentors benefit from transfers of new energy and new ideas from young budding talents.
The strength and success of the festival are underpinned by the weight of support given by students, associations and celebrities worldwide. It is a star-studded event that awards and encourages the exchange and development of innovative thinking. Reeling in competitive films, music and projects from schools across the globe, giving young student talent the push and confidence to fulfill their dreams.
Entertain. Educate. Excite. Evolve are the core principals of HATCHfest, and are brought to fruition by the unwavering support and dedication of its founders and team, whose union represents the most talented and unstoppable resource pool in their respective fields.
