BTFC Membership Orientation

Join us for our first membership orientation of the year! Don’t miss this opportunity to meet fellow members, share your ideas, and become better informed about the BTFC! If you have not yet signed up for membership but want to or want to learn more, you’re welcome to join us!

The Black TV & Film Collective holds member orientation because we want to ensure that members new and old are aware of simple, easy steps you can take to maximize your membership.  Now that you’ve joined our organization, we want to make sure you both know the tools and resources that are available to you, and how to use them. This BTFC orientation session is important to ensure that you understand the process for seeking and lending help. We want to hear what you seek to gain from your membership and encourage you to jump right in and get involved. We also want you to meet each other!

Come to our first member orientation of 2022 with an open mind and come with ideas on ways to make the BTFC better serve your needs!

  • Staple BTFC professional development events
  • The BTFC calendar

Office Hours: Get Help On Your Projects

End the year right and “MakeYourWork! Chat with BTFC Co-Founder and award-winning writer, producer, and director Laura Fielder during BTFC Office Hours!  She’ll do her best to support you and help you move your project forward! 

During BTFC Office Hours we’ll answer general production questions and provide an environment where you can get advice and feedback on your projects from industry professionals.

How can we better describe them? It’s an open door for any member who would like to just come in and ask a question. Get a second pair of eyes on a rough cut, get some help on budgets, have your script reviewed…Remember back in the day when our professors had office hours and you would just go in to ask a question or get some help? That’s exactly what these office hours are like.

Join us to talk about your projects and ideas, so that you’re better equipped to move them forward. It’s all-time well spent.
