Miller is the founder of non-profit Film2Future which creates a direct pipeline for underserved LA youth directly into the entertainment industry. Throughout high school we train F2F students in professional-level filmmaking curriculums in several disciplines including live action, animation, advertising & emerging technology. Additionally, we teach a life skills curriculum (such as portfolio creation, resume writing, interviewing skills) and, once our students are 18, we work to get them into their first paid job/internship in entertainment. Film2Future is completely free to our students and their families and includes free transportation, healthy meals, equipment, and a brand-new computer for our students to use throughout high school and college/early career. Since its inception in 2016, F2F has educated over 225 students, placed students in over 135 paid internship/PA opportunities and our students have earned over $2 million in college scholarships!

Miller is an active public speaker with an emphasis on emerging talent, pipeline strategies and inclusion. Recent appearances include UCLA, New York University, Portland State University, the CBS Diversity Program, Alliance of Women Directors, AFI (American Film Institute), Monterrey Film Festival (Monterrey, Mexico), the Rio International Film Festival (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and on many podcasts including John August’s ScriptNotes.
