In addition to the on-going programs:

• Greater Philadelphia Filmmakers Presents...
• Multicultural Affairs
• "Shoot in Philadelphia" Screenwriting Competition
  
• The Tripod Initiative

Greater Philadelphia Filmmakers also facilitates the following:

• Industry Workshops: Greater Philadelphia Filmmakers sponsors workshops, alone and in partnership with other groups, to enhance the knowledge and experience of our local film and video community with events such as “Film Finance,” “Getting A Grip on Production,” “The Grit Behind the Glamour.”
• PhillyPitch!, a program of Filmmakers, includes story structure, “The Art of Pitching,” Audience Presentation and the chance to pitch your story idea to a panel of high powered industry professionals and a live audience.
• Community Outreach: Representatives frequently visit classrooms and public forums sharing information on the film business, jobs in the industry and the impact on our region.

Our approach is to remain flexible and support the indigenous media community by filling needs as they present themselves. This is a work in progress; the programs of Greater Philadelphia Filmmakers will continue to evolve as needs change.
