Great films can start with a camera, a phone, or an idea you can’t stop thinking about.

​

Tonka Film Fellowship was founded by Minnetonka High School alumni to celebrate graduating seniors who love to create. Each year, we invite seniors to submit a video for a chance to receive an award. No essay. No long list of qualifications. Just make something and show us what you’ve got.

​

If you win, the money is yours to put toward your next step. Buy a piece of camera gear. Cover gas to an internship. Take a class, start a project, or try something entirely different. You don’t have to spend it on tuition, books, or school.

​

We believe creativity can take you places, and there’s more than one route to a great future.
