About Us
The collective was founded by Filmmaker Dilman Dila who since 2017 has been running film trainings around the country. Over time, he noticed that in a small and developing industry, some trained filmmakers become more established while many others struggled to find opportunities to advance their careers. He therefore birthed this non- profit collective to provide a platform for networking, sharing knowledge and resources and for artists to support one another.
