The FilmShop welcomes a wide diversity of talents, skill levels, styles and aesthetics to join our collective. Our workshop environments provide a safe space for our members to learn from a wide range of peer critiques, and our events, screenings and program series benefit from an eclectic base of talented work. Through our partnerships with local arts organizations, we are constantly incorporating new influences to enrich our work, and our growing international chapters allow us to share artistic perspectives from around the world.
We are firmly committed to the belief that each member will learn more, and each member’s work will be pushed to its best potential by the unique set of benefits and challenges that collective development can provide.
The FilmShop also strives to change the way independent media producers approach distribution and create opportunities to see their work become financially sustainable. We connect our members to our partnerships with several film festivals, as well as fiscal sponsors and distributors, in order to get content monetized and available to wider audiences. We also provide the tools for our members to independently sell their films through DVDs or Digital Downloads, without any upfront costs and some of the best royalties in the industry. Our hope is to broaden opportunities for independent filmmakers, and in doing so contribute to a growing movement toward viability and proliferation of independent film.
