Join us in creating a cultural infrastructure that can't be uprooted!
#MakeItBay is made up of doers, dreamers, strategists, and movers. We are filmmakers and community builders, artists and artisans, and we aim to uplift the Bay Area's cultural economy by attracting film projects to the area where we live, work, and spend.

These are only some of the faces of #MakeItBay.
