Minneapolis coworking space built by filmmakers, for filmmakers
There have been quite a few new faces lately, so let’s resurface this in a simple way. If you want to introduce yourself, try this one sentence format:

I am building ___ and looking to connect with people who ___.

Drop your sentence in the comments. No pitch required.

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.

If you’re not sure where to start inside the community, start small.

Open the member directory.
Pick one profile that feels familiar.
Send one message.

That’s how most connections actually begin.

Everyone finds their way here for a different reason.

Right now, which one feels closest?

• I want to make more work
• I want to meet people I trust
• I want structure and momentum
• I want to stay close to film, even when it’s quiet

Comment with one.

Met with another member and walked through ideas that are still forming.
That’s what this space is for. Early conversations. Shared curiosity. Room to experiment.

If you’re working on something and don’t want to do it alone, you’re in the right place.

Join the community or DM us if you’re curious.

What’s one thing you wish existed for filmmakers in Minnesota right now?
A place to meet collaborators
A place to work
A place to learn
A place to show unfinished work

Tell us in the comments. This is how the community takes shape.

What do you need most from your film community right now? More connection? Crew? Mentorship? Tell us in the comments.

We’re not just building a website. We’re creating the foundation for a future creative home. Your support helps us get there, one filmmaker, one story, one space at a time.

Finding the right people can change everything. The Member Directory helps you meet other filmmakers, producers, and crew who actually get it. Because your next project deserves the right team.

Every filmmaker has that one person who always shows up — the one who makes the impossible happen. Tag your crew. Give them a shoutout.

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.
November 18, 2025 at 4:04 PM
The Crewsaide began online. But the goal has always been bigger.

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.

We’ve been live for over a week. Some of you have already joined, and that means the world. This space was built for connection, not perfection. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to jump in, consider this it.

Filmmakers thrive when they share what they’re building.

What are you working on right now? Drop a short description or link in the comments so others can see your work.

Every story starts with a spark. The Crewsaide is where that spark becomes something bigger — a finished film, a new friendship, a shared vision. This is where stories take shape.

Building The Crewsaide is about listening first. We’re shaping this space with feedback from filmmakers who want more connection and less noise. The groundwork is already in motion.

Every film starts with a conversation.

Inside the Forum, you can share crew calls, ask questions, and find partners for your next project. Whether you’re in pre-production or post, this is where collaboration begins.

“The goal isn’t to build another platform. It’s to create a space where filmmakers feel seen, supported, and connected.”
