2026 Filmmaker Retreat

Our inaugural filmmaker retreat will take place March 26th, 27th & 28th, 2026.

The retreat will be an intimate space for filmmakers to gather and engage in discussions, participate in workshops, and connect with other filmmakers. As many creatives have, we’ve been asking ourselves - what does it mean to tell stories when the world is falling apart around us? What does it mean to be creative when the unthinkable is happening next door? How do we create art from reality in ways that honor our subjects and have lasting impact on their lives? These, and many other questions, are ones we’d love to explore, with the goal of fueling creative action and change.

CAPACITY IS LIMITED. REGISTER NOW!
