How are the films made?

At the beginning of Film Co-Op, participants are split into teams to create an original short film over the course of the summer. Several roles have been designed to make sure that every participant has an important part to play in their team, so that filming can be a smoother and more exciting process.

How will the films be shown?

Films will be shown in a massive movie theater that seats almost 400 induvials. Participants can invite friends and family to come and see the films they have been working on all summer. Everyone gets the full theater premier experience, red carpets, paparazzi's, posters on display, trailers, concessions, film awards, and even more!

How Much?

  • Film Co-Op currently runs off a donation based system. We recommend a donation of around $45 per student to help us offset costs and grow Film Co-Op.

  • Please give within your means, we don't want cost to be a prohibitive factor. But at the same time, if you have the means to give $45 per student or even more then your generosity is greatly appreciated as we currently cover a lot of these expenses out of pocket. Your donations help us as we try to make Film Co-Op as great and accessible as possible.
