SeaRiver Pictures Launches Project Hope: Empowering Veterans Through Media

January 2025, Oregon – SeaRiver Pictures is proud to announce the launch of Project Hope, a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to empowering veterans through creative media opportunities. By providing on-the-job training and paid placements on film and media productions across Oregon, Project Hope opens new doors for veterans to build meaningful careers in the media industry.

“At its core, Project Hope is about storytelling—giving veterans the tools to share their voices while creating opportunities for growth and connection,” said Andy Mingo, founder of SeaRiver Pictures. “This initiative is more than a program; it’s a chance to transform lives through creativity and collaboration.”

A Partnership Built on Purpose

Project Hope is inspired by the work of Sean Davis of Mountain, River, and Sea Productions and his HERO Project initiative, which has helped veterans across Oregon. Building on this legacy, Project Hope also draws on the expertise of Andy Mingo, a seasoned filmmaker and media educator with over a decade of experience teaching media production. Mingo’s leadership ensures that participants receive world-class training that bridges creativity and industry standards.

“Veterans bring incredible resilience and perspective to the creative process,” said Davis. “Through Project Hope, we’re not only providing opportunities but also building a stronger, more inclusive creative community.”

Key Program Elements

  • Training: Tailored, hands-on education for media and film production, led by experienced educators like Andy Mingo.

  • Placements: Paid entry-level roles on local productions.

  • Mentorship: Guidance from industry professionals to build long-term career foundations.
