We're thrilled to welcome Ishma Valenti back as our film camp instructor. Ishma is an award winning filmmaker who focuses on making films with content pertaining to social justice issues and relationships between peoples of different demographics. He was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska and is fascinated with stories of his native state. Aside from directing independent films Ishma is a nonprofit coordinator and works to make an impact in his community and has even co-drafted a bill for the Nebraska State Legislature. "I've always wanted to have a positive impact on the world, to inspire people to do great things... everyone watches television and movies on the big screen. That's where I can make the most impact I believe."

Ishma has a clear and concise motive, as a husband and a father of three children he juggles his time while literally and figuratively wearing many hats. "Multi-tasking is in my nature, it's the only way I know how to function in life!"
