What Can We Do for You?
Read on for a list of the questions and concerns for no-budget filmmakers:

If you have skills in areas like camera operation, lighting, sound recording, or production assistance, offering your time and expertise can be incredibly valuable. We at Lake City Film Club can provide information, training, and contacts in this subject. You can get this even if you are located in another geographic location. We at Lake City Film Club can provide information, training, and contacts regardless of your geographic area.
- Provide Locations: Filmmakers need places to shoot their scenes. If you have access to interesting or unique locations (such as your home, office, or a picturesque outdoor spot), consider allowing filmmakers to use them for their projects.
