Miami Film Lab

Support local filmmakers as they work to make a living telling Miami stories. 

Our goals are to:

Raise Awareness - Elevating the profile of Miami filmmakers within the industry and with the public by making Miami films readily available on screen and online and profiling local filmmakers.

Provide Mentorship - Creating opportunities for filmmakers to work with colleagues and industry professionals to elevate their work both practically and artistically.

Promote Economic Mobility  - Ensuring we provide as many opportunities as possible for filmmakers to get paid for their films, their craft and their industry know how by providing honorariums, screenings fees and job opportunities. 

Produce Films - To be our own gatekeepers and support the stories that reflect our community by raising the funds to produce films ourselves with budgets that allow for all crew members to make a living wage.

Our Programs Include:

Filmcraft Series: Tales of Working Artists, Mentorship Series, Podcast Crew Call 3:05, Substack  Filmmaker Nights, Made in Miami Films, Test Screenings, DCP Grants, Actor Showcase
