The Smartphone-Based Film School best fits under the V3 – Education & Inspiration vertical — but it also functions strategically across all 8Vs as a core content development and empowerment tool.

Here’s the recommended primary division + secondary integrations:

✅ Primary Division: V3 – Education & Inspiration

This is where the film school lives formally. It's an educational and professional development program. It:

• Empowers creators to learn filmmaking with low barriers to entry

• Provides training, certification, and mentorship

• Leverages storytelling for transformation and inspiration

🔄 Strategic Integrations Across 8V

🔐 Possible Sub-Unit Naming:
