Professionals Working for the Community |
||
| The
Bay Area Film Alliance is a group of Northern California film/media
professionals whose goals include the development, recognition and
promotion of film and media in the Bay Area.
Film Alliance members have an active
interest in the future of our industry, especially in Northern California.
Drawn from the entire Northern California film/media industry, our
membership includes independent and non-union workers, members and
leaders of several guilds and unions including IATSE, Teamsters,
SAG, DGA, and AFTRA, educators, merchants and vendors who serve
the industry, and people interested in media industry careers. Benefits of Local Film Production: The San Francisco Bay Area is uniquely positioned as a film production destination, possessing several of the planet's most recognizable landmarks. In addition to the direct monetary advantages that film/media production brings, our community benefits from the travel dollars and exposure that production provides by its encouragement of tourism and conventions. Money from local production has a significant multiplying effect on the surrounding community. |
