MEMBERSHIP

Spring 2024 applications are now closed. Please check this page and subscribe to our newsletter for information about our next application cycle.

Before you apply to any of our chapters, please note:

  • We ask that you be actively working on a project you’d like to workshop with the group. (Questions about what this means? See the Current Work section of the application below, or read more here.)

  • Dues for the season are $175. We don't want concerns about money to keep you from applying. We offer financial aid for those who are unemployed or underemployed; priority is given to artists from communities that are underrepresented in the industry. If you are interested in applying for discounted fees, you will be able to request a financial aid form once accepted.

  • For the second round of the application process, strong applicants may be asked to speak with a current Filmshop member, either at our pre-season open house, or via a phone or video call.

  • Filmshop members are expected to miss no more than 4 meetings per season (there are either 15 or 16 weekly meetings depending on the chapter). Meetings take place on weeknights, 7:30 to 10:00PM ET.

We look forward to learning more about you!

If you have any questions, or would like to schedule a visit to one of our workshop meetings, feel free to email us at contact@thefilmshop.org
