CHICAGO FILM CLUB
The Chicago Film Club is a monthly meetup and Google group that boasts over 250 members of the Chicago film scene. The email list supports the needs of filmmakers and artists who may be looking for certain collaborators, are in need of other production needs, or simply wish to share new opportunities. Though the email thread is a great way to share work, we advise participants to be careful in not spamming fellow members and to be sure that anything shared is of general interest to the group.
The goal of the Chicago Film Club is to bring together filmmakers of varying backgrounds and experiences into a safe and accepting space that promotes collaboration and generates more quality work.
The monthly meetup, which has been translated to Zoom over the course of the COVID-19 lockdown, is an opportunity for members to meet one another in an informal setting and to specifically share works-in-progress with their peers. When in person, these meetups typically include a host who invites the other members into their home and everyone attending is encouraged to bring snacks and beverages. The meetup also includes a moderator who oversees the feedback session. This consists of the group first viewing the work together and approximately twenty minutes of discussion and questions afterwards. The extent of the discussion is at the discretion of the filmmaker sharing their work.
