Join us for our August filmmaker happy hour at the Night Heron in Oakland. We’ll be joined by the Berkeley Film Foundation and learn about their exciting new opportunity for funding local filmmakers.

The venue is ADA-accessible and the event is a cash bar.

The Berkeley FILM Foundation is a 501(c)(3) grant and educational program for independent filmmakers founded by the City of Berkeley, Wareham Development, and the Saul Zaentz Company with a mission to nurture, sustain and preserve the thriving local film community while attracting the next generation of filmmakers. 

The BFF focuses on supporting social, historical and innovative documentary and dramatic works. Many of our grant winners have gone on to screen at U.S. and international film festivals, been recognized with prestigious awards, received television broadcasts and are making a difference around the world.
