SF Film Collective
The SF Film Collective, provided by the San Francisco Film Commission, has the potential to help nurture the local independent and documentary film communities. The goal of the Film Collective is to provide low cost office space, allowing local pioneers in independent and documentary production to advance their projects, interact and draw inspiration or knowledge from their peers, and ultimately bring more production to San Francisco.
