The Shawn Regruto Cinematic Foundation (“SRCF”) nurtures film and filmmakers in the spirit embodied by filmmaker Shawn Regruto, whose artistry, craft, and values were — and continue to be — a source for encouragement, growth, and inspiration for countless artists around the globe.

SRCF — taking a cue from Shawn’s impact as a mentor, love of the creative process, and magic as a community builder — champions artistic and professional growth, celebrates the voices, vision, and potential of storytellers, fosters community connection through cinema, and elevates New York City as a unique place where storytelling is a way of life.
