Berkeley Community Media Planning Meet-Up

Overview
Join us for an opportunity to be on the Film Festival Production Team as well as share your work in creative works in progress with peers.
Join the BCM Film Festival Team!
Be part of a passionate group dedicated to creating meaningful, community-driven filmmaking events. We meet once a month to plan, collaborate, and make the magic happen. Contact Melanie@betv.org and come to the 3rd Wednesday of every month at BCM headquarters to get involved.
This is a chance for you to become involved in a deeper way with the wonderful film festivals produced by BCM. Traditionally, we have had 2 film festivals each year: the 48 Hour Filmmaker Challenge in July and the Horror Film Fest-Evil in October.
However, there have been others such as "The BCM Screening Room," "St. Valentine’s Day Film Festival," "March Mania" and a "Sci Fi Film Festival." What are festival themes YOU would like to see BCM produce?
In other words, we COULD be having more events if only we had more support…and…YOU could be getting the inside scoop on how it all works from start to finish. This means a more in-depth understanding of film fest production.
BCM celebrates Berkeley’s creative spirit and longstanding tradition of independent arts and storytelling. Our festivals highlight independent filmmakers while providing a public platform for diverse voices and experimental work.
By bringing together filmmakers, residents, students, and visitors for screenings, discussions, our festivals reflect Berkeley’s identity as a city that values creativity, free expression, and community engagement. The events we produce strengthen local cultural life while making independent film accessible to the broader community.
Whether you’re in the industry as a filmmaker already, just starting out or purely want to support the festival production at BCM, please contact Melanie@betv.org and show up to the Community Club 2.0 every month 3rd Wednesday 6-8pm
