Committees

AFCOOP committees can consist of staff, members, and community members.

Production Committee

The Production Committee oversees AFCOOP’s technical and production related activities and helps bring those resources to our community of independent filmmakers and media artists. It is facilitated by our Technical and Production Coordinator.

Safer Spaces Committee

The Safe Spaces Committee was formed to create a new sexual harrassment and discrimination policy that is accessible, inclusive and comprehensive.

Finance Committee

Re-established in 2023, the Finance Committee is responsible for establishing a budget and presenting it to the Board of Directors for approval, and for reviewing the financial management of the Association from time to time. 

Sequestered Screenwriters

The Sequestered Screenwriters Group is an online group for screenwriters to share their work. The group meets online at the end of every month to read and discuss each other’s short film scripts. In advance of the meeting, participants are given access to writing prompts to use (or not). Participants can send in their scripts, or works in progress to be discussed in the group. It’s FREE and open to all.

SIGN UP HERE

Here’s how it works:

  1. Screenwriting prompts will be provided if desired. Otherwise, feel free to submit a screenplay or segment of up to 6 pages. Outlines are also welcome.
  2. Work on your script and send it in to Henry by  Thursday, August 23rd.
  3. Scripts will be sent out to the group on Friday, August 24th
  4. Online Group Meeting! Tuesday, August 27th, 6:00pm.

If you don’t like the prompt or if you have a script in progress that you’d rather work on that’s totally fine. The group will be facilitated by members Tracy McNeil and Emma Boardman. If you have any questions, contact Henry: henry@afcoop.ca
