A physical space doesn’t appear overnight.
It gets built slowly.
By people who believe the work matters.
By people who want a place to gather, create, and stay connected to film.
If The Crewsaide has felt useful, meaningful, or hopeful to you, supporting the build is one way to take part.

Today is quiet for a lot of us.
If you’re taking a break, we hope it’s restful.
If you’re still working, we see you.
The Crewsaide is here for the long haul.
So whenever you’re ready, we’ll be here too.

Most film conversations start the same way.
“I’ve been meaning to reach out.”
“I just haven’t yet.”
If that sounds familiar, you’re not behind. You’re normal.
What’s one thing you’ve been meaning to work on or move forward, even a little?
One sentence is enough.

Some days, collaboration feels impossible. Schedules clash. Budgets shrink. Energy fades. That’s exactly why The Crewsaide exists: to make filmmaking feel less like a solo climb.

We’re building toward a physical space where Minnesota filmmakers can meet, work, and create together. Memberships keep the site running and help fund the foundation for that space. Join in.
