The San Jose Film Collective

The San Jose Film Collective is committed to providing a platform for local filmmakers to network, showcase their work, and build meaningful connections within our community. We are a 100% volunteer-driven organization, proudly led by members of minority backgrounds.

We are a filmmaker collective dedicated to community and creativity. POC-led and volunteer-driven, we provide a space for filmmakers of all levels to connect, learn, and collaborate through events, workshops, and mixers.

What we do

  • Film Showcases: Experience a curated diverse selection of local filmmakers' works at our showcases, complete with refreshments, networking opportunities, and the chance to vote for the crowd favorite, who walks away with a coveted prize.

  • Mixers: Join us for engaging networking sessions designed to foster meaningful connections within the filmmaking community.

  • Workshops: Dive deep into the film industry with our informative workshops, offering insights on breaking in, filmmaking techniques, festival strategies, and more.

  • Giveaways/Resources: As a token of appreciation, we occasionally offer giveaways to our supporters, while also working towards building a filmmaker database and providing essential tools like a sound effects library.

  • Informational Content: Access valuable resources and stay updated on industry trends through our online content, including tool recommendations and upcoming sales to support your filmmaking journey.
