At the Austin School of Film, we champion film and media arts as transformative forces that drive social change and personal development. Our dedication to dismantling barriers and providing a platform for unique voices is vital for cultivating a diverse and inclusive filmmaking community, reshaping the cultural landscape and redefining the role of art and film in society.

We invite local talent to join our newest community effort "Future of Film Collective" - a creative talent database for our 2025 project-based courses, including but not limited to: Script to Screen (Narrative Filmmaking for Beginners), Music Video Production, Avant Garde & Experimental Filmmaking, Documentary Storytelling, and the upcoming Narrative Filmmaking Intensive.

This support tool is designed to support our students by connecting them with local talent who are not only skilled but also passionate about film activism. By participating, you play a pivotal role in shaping the future of film, supporting projects that advance innovation and promote diversity within the industry.

While we encourage students to collaborate on each other's projects for enhanced hands-on experience, we also aim to support their transformative journeys by connecting them with local support—like you. Although many roles are volunteer-based or offer sliding scale compensation, your involvement is crucial in nurturing a future of diverse and inclusive filmmaking.

Interested? Please join us! Your information will be kept internally and shared only with registered students in project-based courses. Students will reach out directly if they are interested in collaborating.

Future Film Collective is a directory of local talent interested in cast and crew positions in upcoming productions at Austin School of Film. This initiative is linked to our Future of Film Fund, a tuition-free fund designed to support and expand Austin's vibrant film community. By joining this collective, participants can actively support the shaping the cinematic landscape in Austin, Texas!
