‼️ WHY WE DO THIS
At Austin School of Film, we believe film is for everyone. We support community-centered skill-building that helps you tell your story your way. We help protect analog formats from extinction, create space for independent voices, and stand firm in our mission to provide education that’s raw, real, and radically inclusive.
We’re about process over perfection. We believe in showing up, trying things out, and learning by doing.
So remember, you don’t just have to watch films—you can make your own right here.
This is just one piece of the puzzle: Our Blackbox Studio is one of four creative spaces our nonprofit operates throughout Austin. From hands-on workshops to full-scale productions, we’re building an ecosystem where education, access, and community go hand in hand.
