Grand Rapids-based film program helps youth build confidence, industry connections, and storytelling skills, guiding youths like first-generation student Nuha Hussein toward a creative future.

Two years ago, Nuha Hussein sat among the crowd at a Mosaic Film Experience event, watching local filmmakers and Hollywood guests talk about storytelling, creativity, and endless possibilities. Her journey since then shows how this nonprofit organization helps students learn and grow in filmmaking. 

Hussein, now a Grand Valley State University freshman, has gone from watching in the audience to talking about her experiences with Mosaic and sharing stories and problems with younger generations who want to explore these careers.

“It helped me make a lot of connections with professionals,” Hussein says about Mosaic.

Mosaic Film Experience is a Grand Rapids-based nonprofit organization founded in 2012 that focuses on youth problem-solving and storytelling. It was founded 14 years ago by Skot Welch to take youths behind the scenes of the film industry as well as other emerging creative industries, giving students an insight into what they entail.
