AGBO + Emerging filmmakers
At the heart of AGBO’s filmmaker programs is a mission to champion emerging filmmakers and create spaces for them to connect, collaborate and grow.
Through ongoing guidance, resources, and networking opportunities, AGBO fosters lasting relationships with its filmmakers – serving as mentors, collaborators, and champions long after the competition ends.
Winners join the AGBO Storytellers Collective, an alumni network connecting filmmakers from AGBO-sponsored initiatives such as the Russo Brothers Italian American Filmmaker Forum, No Sleep ’til Film Fest and the Slamdance Film Festival Fellowship, where the Russos premiered their first feature film in 1997.

RBIAFF
The Russo Brothers Italian American Filmmaker Forum (RBIAFF), presented by the AGBO Foundation in collaboration with the Italian Sons and Daughters of America (ISDA), is an annual initiative supporting original short films that explore the Italian American experience. Each year, five filmmakers receive $10,000 production grants to create their short films, and one is awarded the top prize and admission into the AGBO Storytellers Collective. To date, RBIAFF has awarded over $450,000 in grants to 52 filmmakers.
NSTFF
AGBO’s No Sleep ’til Film Fest (NSTFF) is a global short filmmaking competition that invites filmmakers from all over the world to make a film of three minutes or less in only 48 hours, based on a surprise creative prompt. Judged by AGBO’s Creative Leadership, including Co-Founders Anthony and Joe Russo, NSTFF has received more than 2,500 submissions from over 60 countries.
