Organization
Filmmakers Collaborative is comprised of filmmaker-members who collectively determine the direction of the Collaborative. Members attend quarterly meetings to discuss pertinent issues, keep abreast of each other’s projects, and decide policy for the organization. In addition, FC sponsors projects for media makers who cannot or choose not to become active members of the organization.
Day-to-day administration is handled by Executive Director, Bonnie Waltch (pictured right), who provides fiscal oversight, monitors grant reporting requirements, and consults on budgets. Associate Director, Jennifer Kaplan (pictured left), organizes FC’s outreach and educational programs.
Guidance, oversight, and a broad range of experience are provided by FC’s Board of Directors, who attend quarterly board meetings and are welcome to attend member meetings.
