COMING UP

FS NEW MEMBER OPEN HOUSE

At Filmshop, you'll find a room full of filmmakers who show up every week to share work, ask better questions, offer honest feedback, and help each other move projects forward. Whether you're developing a documentary, narrative feature, short film, or series, you'll find collaborators who understand the creative process because they're living it too.

FS BREAKTHROUGH SERIES 2026

Breakthrough Pitchfest is an offshoot of our Breakthrough Series, one of Filmshop’s signature events. It provides a forum for members to pitch their work and engage in discussions centered around development and distribution, as well as an opportunity to receive feedback from a panel of industry experts.

After each project is presented, there will be live feedback offered by industry advisors. Featured projects range from works in progress to fully produced narrative/documentary shorts, features, series, and feature screenplays. The event also functions as a meeting point and marketplace for filmmakers and industry guests to view these projects. The pitches will be followed by a reception in our main event space from 4:15–5:00 pm. There will also be space for holding one-on-one conversations in a private conference room.

Experience the magic of Filmshop’s vibrant summer residency on Governors Island! Throughout the season, the Filmshop House will buzz with activity, featuring film screenings, filmmaker Q&As, and hands-on workshops led by our talented community members.
