MEMBERSHIP FOR FILMSHOP NOLA
New member applications for our Spring 2026 workshop are now open!
Applications are due by January 11, 6:59pm CT, and the season begins on March 5 and ends May 28.
We encourage all applicants to attend one of our virtual open house events on January 6, 12pm ET (11am CT) or January 7, 8pm ET (7pm CT). RSVP on Eventbrite here.
(Existing Filmshop members: Please fill out our separate returning member application to apply for the coming season. Do not fill out the form on this page.)
Before you apply, please keep in mind:
In order to be eligible, you must be actively working on a project you’d like to workshop with the group. (Questions about what this means? See the “What project do you plan to workshop” section of the application below, or read more here.)
As part of your application, you will need to submit a work sample (which can be derived from your current project but doesn’t need to be).
In addition to filling out this application form, applicants may be asked to speak with a current Filmshop member via a phone or video call for an informal interview.
Members are expected to miss no more than 3 meetings per season (out of 13 total). Our meetings take place Thursday nights, in-person at Court 13.
Dues for the season are $150. We also 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.
It is free to submit an application.
We look forward to learning more about you!
If you have any questions, feel free to email us at contact@thefilmshop.org.
