SUPPORT FILM & CREATIVE MEDIA IN VERMONT

Programming 2025

Last year our community showed up big time and helped us to raise over $5,000 to keep VPC running strong. YOU all helped to make the Screenplay Incubator Program, and the table read of the resulting scripts at Made Here Film Fest, a resounding success.

This spring we announced our 2025 Grassroots Community Fundraising Drive and this year we are looking to expand our program offerings in developing The Vermont Filmmakers’ Professional Development Program.

Help us continue and expand programming!

About the program: The Vermont Filmmakers’ Professional Development Program, sponsored by the Vermont Production Collective, is a crowdsourced initiative designed to elevate the skills of filmmakers across the state and give them the skills to MAKE FILMS HERE.

Through hands-on workshops, expert-led masterclasses, and regular networking opportunities, this program empowers filmmakers to refine their craft, learn new skills, all while fostering a thriving, collaborative creative community in the state. Every dollar raised through this grassroots, community effort helps expand these opportunities to a broader audience, ensuring Vermont’s film industry continues to grow, thrive and innovate.

Every dollar raised will go back into fostering and giving the creative community here in Vermont opportunities to connect, to grow and to create more here in the state.
