Join us for our March filmmaker happy hour at the Night Heron in Oakland. The venue is ADA-accessible and the event is a cash bar.

The evening is hosted by SOFT HOLD COLLECTIVE, a curated Bay Area film directory designed to amplify the visibility of women, non-binary, and trans freelancers in the film industry. We believe that equitable representation behind the camera is just as vital as in front of it, and we are dedicated to fostering gender diversity and inclusion on film sets.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between talented creative professionals and the productions that need them. Whether you're looking to hire experienced cinematographers, directors, editors, production designers, sound mixers, grips, or other film professionals, Soft Hold Collective connects you with skilled, passionate, and badass industry experts who are often underrepresented in hiring pools.

Explore the directory. Hire boldly.
