We are incredibly proud of our folks here in the Futures Explored Film & Media Stockton Program! They’ve produced their first comic book page ENTIRELY created by the students.

Doug and Mario wrote the script, Doug came up with the layout, Mario with the character designs and the digital sketch/coloring, and of course the Stockton students contributed the traditional inking.

And yes! This comic will be available for sale soon! Stay tuned!

Creativity Knows No Limits

Futures Explored has built more than a studio – it has built a stage for possibility. Your support ensures that creativity remains within reach for artists with disabilities. A gift today helps finish the Concord hub with real walls and soundproofing, puts professional-grade cameras and software in students’ hands, and funds new classes in digital art, animation, and beyond. 

Most importantly, your donation reduces waitlists and keeps programs free, welcoming more aspiring filmmakers, writers, and artists into the fold. Join us in saying “Action!” on the next story – because with your help, every voice can take its place in the spotlight.
