Earlier this year we announced Heart And Soul Design Center (HAS Center) as the winner of a Sony Create Action grant. The LA-based nonprofit’s objective is to provide underserved communities with affordable quality production services, create employment opportunities and introduce them to the world of innovative digital technology. As grant recipients, HAS Center receives $50,000 in cash to continue and expand the organization's work, this Sony-produced short film telling their story and $50,000 in Sony Electronics products to support their action plan.
