The San Francisco Film Commission and the San Francisco Film Society have just awarded us the prestigious residency at the Film House, located at Pier 27 on the Embarcadero. The Residency provides a select-number of independent filmmakers free office space and a supportive environment to advance their projects.
Do you have an extra computer you would like to donate? or a copier or a printer? You can help us with your donated items as we setup our office space this coming week. Don’t have an item to donate? Not a San Francisco Bay Area resident? You can still help by making a tax-deductible contribution today.
More news to come in the coming weeks as we get ready for a productive summer.
