FILM ARTISTS COOPERATIVE (FAC)
A free program supported by Northern Rivers Screenworks

Who are THE FILM ARTISTS COOPERATIVE (FAC)?

FAC is a participant run group of film makers, actors, writers, composers, producers, etc, from the local Northern Rivers community who are helping one another to connect with other local talent and resources in order to achieve their individual film making goals. Supported by Northern Rivers Screenworks, the Byron Bay RSL Club, the Beach Hotel and TP Health Ltd., members are encouraged to work-shop their scripts, ‘pitch’ their film ideas to one another, and form production units that result in ‘not for profit’ short ‘portfolio’ film collaborations. Activities may include producing short dramas, mini-docs & experimental films, perhaps the shooting of ‘one off’ dramatic scenes for design or acting presentation, exploring short film comedy sketches, creating musical film scores. In short, FAC’s primarily function is to encourage members to explore their potential and to gain experience in the real world process of collaborative film making.

Why join?

When you participate in FAC, you will be joining with many other local film artists who have elected to share their film aspirations and contact details with one another. Members are ‘connecting and collaborating’ by sharing ideas, volunteering to crew for one another, and basically improving their skills by working on member initiated productions. FAC provides monthly meetings and an email newsletter.

Where FAC is & when?

FAC is presently hosted at the Byron Bay RSL Club, Jonson St. Meetings take place on the first Thursday of each month from 7:30 to 10 PM. Contact coordinator Susie Forster
