Caltech Filmmaking Club

The purpose of the CFC is to promote filmmaking and photography in the Caltech community, by bringing together filmmakers, actors, musicians, art designers, propmakers, editors and all kinds of creative folks who share a passion for making movies.

If you are interested in offering your talent and/or energy for filmmaking projects at Caltech, email filmcaltech.edu with a text or HTML page describing your talents, experience and interests, and anything else you may want to share with us, such as equipment you own, etc. This will be added to the CFC website.
