The newest chapter of the FilmShop began last week in Manhattan at the co-working space Hive at 55.

The Manhattan chapter has several seasoned members, along with an exciting batch of fresh talent. The group is an incredibly diverse group of new filmmakers, from animators to audio technicians to film marketers. There are members with backgrounds from places as far as San Francisco, Italy and Bangladesh. Some have produced work with companies like HBO, Miramax and Amazon.com and others have received funding from organizations like the Rockefeller Foundation and the Brooklyn Arts Council.

The expansion continues to grow and strengthen the overall FilmShop community and we are excited to see what the future has in store for the Manhattan chapter.
