The Filmmakers Cooperative is a student-run organization dedicated to film production at UCSB. The Co-op organizes hands-on workshop sessions, provides equipment, and offers support to all members through all stages of production. The co-op serves as a great resource for networking with others, and welcomes students interested in any part of the production process.

One of the primary objectives of the Filmmakers' Cooperative is to encourage and facilitate the production of student silent short films for the Reel Loud film festival.
