About The League

Art by Clara Finch

Our Mission

We exist to elevate and unite creators across all filmmaking disciplines by providing education, visibility, and opportunity. We believe that if you point a camera to tell a story, you’re a filmmaker.

What We Do

We operate as a digital trade publication and professional network, offering editorial opportunities, shared resources, and strategic partnerships to help independent creators grow. In addition, we are a national coalition of filmmaking communities and user groups. Whether you're a narrative filmmaker, podcaster, live event producer, or content creator, we celebrate your work and provide the tools and community to advance your craft.
