MEMBERSHIP FOR
FILMSHOP - L.A.

New member applications for our Spring 2025 Los Angeles workshop are open!

Applications are due by January 27, 11:59pm PT, and the season runs from February 24 through May 19.

Our works-in-progress workshops are at the core of our community. It is the space where we come together to gain fresh perspective on work, to flex our (constructively) critical muscles, and to be part of a fellowship with other filmmakers.

Before you apply, please note:

  • We meet weekly on Monday night, from 7:00-9:30pm PT. Meetings are in person, in the Hollywood area.

  • We ask that you be actively working on a project you’d like to workshop with the group. (Questions about what this means? See the “What project do you plan to workshop” section of the application below, or read more here.)

  • Attendance is crucial to the success of the collective. Filmshop members are expected to miss no more than 3 out of 13 meetings each season.

  • In addition to filling out this application form, applicants may be asked to speak with a current Filmshop member via a phone or video call for an informal interview.

  • Dues for the season are $150 upon acceptance. We also offer financial aid for those who are unemployed or underemployed; priority is given to artists from communities that are underrepresented in the industry. If you are interested in applying for discounted fees, you will be able to request a financial aid form once accepted.

  • It is free to submit an application.

We look forward to learning more about you!
