Your Next Great Story Starts Here

Support #MakeItBay — A Movement to Reclaim Our Creative Future

The Bay Area was once a beacon for radical imagination, cultural storytelling, and groundbreaking film. But today, our region is being written out of its own story. Without investment, local talent is forced to leave, jobs vanish, and our culture risks being erased.

At #MakeItBay, we’re changing that.

We’re a community-led movement to revitalize the Bay Area’s film and media sectors—built by and for the people who call this place home. Powered by working creatives and cultural strategists, we’re laying the foundation for a new kind of film economy: one rooted in equity, powered by storytelling, and anchored in community.

Your donation will help us:

• Launch a permanent regional film office and build a comprehensive online resource hub that connects local crew, vendors, and talent to opportunity

• Expand regional film incentives that attract high-impact productions and generate millions in local economic activity

• Strengthen workforce pathways by partnering with educators and productions to train and hire local creatives—especially those historically excluded from the industry

Your Gift Has Impact

Your support directly fuels the people, policies, and infrastructure needed to bring film back to the Bay—and keep it here.

Together, we can build a screen sector where local stories are told, local talent is hired, and local economies thrive. Join us and be part of what's next.

Thank you for believing in this vision—and in what the Bay can be.
