Adobe has announced a new partnership with Dimz Inc on a month-long creative bootcamp for 18–24-year-olds from underserved backgrounds in the UK.
Dimz Inc is the creative studio founded by the creator of Chicken Shop Date, Amelia Dimoldenberg.
“I feel really fortunate that my experience in a youth run project laid the foundation for the career I have today. That’s what I hope to be able to do for others with Dimz Inc. Academy,” said Dimoldenberg. “With last year’s pilot programme under our belt, I’m excited for us to carry on creating something truly impactful this year with the generous support of Adobe. They’re a dream partner because they really understand the importance of supporting creatives and they make the tools needed to do so — which have helped me so much in my own journey.”
With Adobe’s support, the Dimz Inc. Academy will give young people access to industry-standard creative tools, hands-on experience and pathways into sustainable careers across entertainment and creative industries.
The partnership is part of the Adobe Film & TV Fund, a fund that supports emerging and mid-career filmmakers by combining funding, fellowships, training and Adobe product access. The fund invests in independent film and TV projects, equips creators with modern, AI-powered Adobe tools and skills, and partners with community organisations.
In 2026, Adobe is committing $10 million in grants and donated products and will now direct more funds to the production of filmmakers’ stories. With the new approach, creators of all backgrounds will be able to receive funding and product donations for their films through two pathways: via Adobe’s community partners and, for the first time, directly from Adobe.
The new direct-to-creators funding pathway will solicit nominations from industry and community organisations in its first year and will support projects built on Adobe’s tools such as Premiere and Adobe Firefly. More details about applying to this fund will be available later this year; please send an email to createchange@adobe.com to sign up for future updates.
