Mission Statement
Our mission at the Couch Collective is to redefine the female narrative by changing the types of stories told about women in film and by working to get more women behind the camera at all levels of production.
About This Cause
We are an intersectional group that produces and supports equitable and inclusive film projects that prioritize hiring at least 51% self-identifying women and non-binary folks, 30% people of color, and include multiple members of the LGBTQ+ community. We Make Short Films – We sponsor a Script to Screen Grant Program each year and the winner of the contest receives a grant as well as a full crew to realize their project. This provides opportunities for women to develop their portfolios in film so they can better leverage their experience in the entertainment industry. We Teach Each Other Stuff – Every other month, the Collective offers affordable (and sometimes free!) workshops to both members and the public on everything from writing screenplays to audition technique, producing a short film to script supervising. We Employ Each Other – On months when we don’t host workshops, we have networking meetings where working film industry professionals gather to network and connect. Many members are exposed to work opportunities on non-Collective projects. We Showcase and Promote Women and People of Color in Film and Entertainment – While we are avid about supporting and marketing our members, we are dedicated to featuring projects, organizations, and resources that align with our cause. This means we savor the moments when we can collaborate with professionals from outside the Collective to disseminate and publicize high-quality work created by women in filmmakers.
