The Vitti Fund

MoPictive's President Patrick Inhofer will unveil the long awaited and discussed educational grant program, The Vitti Fund (TVF). TVF celebrates the life of MoPictive founder Michael Vitti. TVF is dedicated to furthering Michael's greatest passion, giving others the knowledge they need to further their goals in becoming exceptional digital filmmakers.

We hope you'll join Patrick as he celebrate the life of our gregarious founder - by ensuring Michael's passion continues to give the greatest gift of all... education.
