We hope that this finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy during this time of unprecedented challenges. 
 
We have always felt that the true power of media is in its ability to document important moments in our lives as they happen.  

With that in mind, we are reaffirming our dedication to serving the independent filmmaking community in any way we can.  Read on to learn about events we have planned and of course, please let us know how we can help YOU!

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Filmmakers Collaborative (FC) has provided an array of resources and fiscal sponsorship for the independent filmmaking community for the past 30 years. We are proud that we have served as the fiscal sponsor for hundreds of films, including numerous award-winners, at a cost that remains among the lowest in the country. 
 
All of FC's programs are as unique as our member base. We offer vital opportunities to empower young, aspiring, media makers just starting out on their careers while also providing the vital resource of fiscal sponsorship to award-winning producers at the top of their craft. Both will ultimately produce films that will screen in living rooms, theaters and museums around the world.
