Our Story

Tender Pictures’ fellowship program, Prelude, was co-founded by Abbi Jacobson and Mieka Tennant with the vision of leveling the playing field for entry into the industry. Abbi and Mieka have witnessed the essential elements for success and the exclusive networks that often dictate opportunities - they’ve seen the type of events, resources, and connections that are needed to succeed. Together, their shared vision, rooted in found family, is to elevate unheard voices and foster collective growth.
