Young Indie Filmmakers of LA

Calling emerging writer-directors, producers, and collaborators looking to build scrappy, micro-budget work together! Ages 20-35.

We're a small, growing collective of young filmmakers in LA looking to build a community around shared values: storytelling craft, mutual support, and scrappy, no-excuses execution. If you're tired of waiting for permission to create—and want to actually make work alongside people who show up, follow through, and bring something to the table—this is for you.

We’re assembling a diverse, tight-knit group of creatives (writers, directors, producers, editors, DPs, sound designers, etc.) who are serious about collaborating on short films and narrative projects in a sustainable, grassroots way.

The plan is to:

• Host regular in-person meetups to share ideas, pitch projects, give feedback, and plan shoots
• Pool resources (gear, locations, time, and small funding) to make work happen
• Rotate directing/writing opportunities while crewing on each other’s projects
• Build something that lasts beyond a single short—something collective, ambitious, and real

Whether you're fresh out of school or just arrived in LA with a camera and a script, join us if you're hungry to create and open to building something from the ground up.

This isn't a mixer—it's a crew in progress.
