Opportunity to learn from industry professionals. Access to state of the art equipment.

The Filmmakers Meetup is a membership-based workforce development program designed to challenge the lack of diversity and limited access to employment opportunities for filmmakers of color in the State of Maryland. Through a series of workshops, we aim to increase job readiness in the areas of cinematography, grip/electric, and editing to establish a pipeline of employment for our trained filmmakers with non-profit organizations and film production companies operating in Maryland.
