What is Film Co-Op?

Film Co-Op is a summer filmmaking program where middle and high school students work to create their own short films, and learn about filmmaking in the process. We want to use the talents, skills and aptitudes that God has given us to help train a new generation of filmmakers and creatives in a meaningful and Christ-honoring manner. 

Our Values

Accessibility

We want to make filmmaking as a hobby more accessible to all. Film equipment and training is highly expensive, so we want to provide an option for students to be introduced to filmmaking without the insanely high up-front investment.

Fun

We want students to have fun and enjoy the process of learning and growing.

Experience

We want to give students meaningful experiences that they will carry with them throughout their life. We also want to provide students with the opportunity to work on projects that can help them to grow their skills and build their resume.

Community

We want to build a community of like-minded  filmmakers and creators that will support each other in their creative endeavors and urge each other to even greater heights.

Quality

We encourage students to pursue a high level of quality in everything they do, while doing our best to lead through example and provide them with high quality experiences 

Creativity

We want to inspire creativity and imagination in students while helping them create their own projects.

Our 
Vision

We aim to provide opportunities for students to grow as filmmakers and individuals, through hands on experiences, usage of film equipment, personal instruction, teamwork, and challenges. Over the past few years Film Co-Op the community has grown quickly, and we believe it will continue to grow in size and scope. We are excited to see what God has in store for the future of this program

Who are we?

Film Co-Op is led by Tallahassee locals, Christians with a passion for helping the next generation. We've worked with and created professional videos for companies such as FSU, ESPN, FCA, and many local business and churches. We've also had several of our videos air on national television, and even won a gold standard award for national collegiate advertising. We have a passion for filmmaking, and a strong desire to build up the next generation of young creative kids in a fun and Christ-honoring manner!

 

When we were kids, making movies wasn't easy. Film gear was and still is extremely expensive, along with editing software, props, and costumes. It could also be challenging when trying to find people to act in our movies, or help us as part of the crew.

Our goal here at Film Co-Op is to give kids the opportunities and resources we never had. We aim to connect them with people who share the same passions and hobbies. We also want to provide every team with quality filmmaking equipment that would be otherwise very expensive for a young student to purchase. By empowering the next generation of Christian filmmakers, we can contribute to changing the filmmaking industry for the better in the years to come.
