California Film Foundation
MISSION:
Create a collaborative community for filmmakers, create networking opportunities, attract work for local filmmakers, offer workshops and educational classes and build Sacramento's visibility as a film-making mecca.
HISTORY/INFORMATION:
In 1993 a group of Sacramento-based screenwriters had a vision to create an organization that would support the professional development of its members and establish the region as the capital of California's independent cinema movement. "Writers Block North" as it was known, became the first film support organization in the capital. Our mission, as a year-round non-profit cultural and educational organization, is to create understanding between people of diverse cultures through the art of cinema and showcase Northern California as a dynamic place to both shoot and exhibit film. We serve Sacramento’s diverse and under-served populace through access to and the fostering of world-class cinema. To this day, CFF remains the only organization in Sacramento dedicated to engaging both its members and the general public in a lifelong understanding of film history and film culture.
