This MKF program supports authors, illustrators, filmmakers, television producers, computer game designers, and other creators who produce high-quality material containing positive and inspiring role models, thoughtful and thought-provoking storylines, and well-informed analysis.

Last year we co-sponsored Alejandro Gómez Monteverde's film Bella, which won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival.

You can find out more about the film at www.bellathemovie.com. If you wish to show Bella in your school, to your students, your church group, or any sizable group, MKF will be able to provide private showings and a discussion guide as soon as they become available.

"Bella is a beautiful love story that lifts the spirits in a celebration of youth, life and optimism. The Michael Kenwood Foundation is proud to co-sponsor and promote this film that should be seen by all young people in America," says Ramon Illarramendi, MKF Director.
