The Southern Filmmakers Collective (SFC) welcomes Otago & Southland individuals who are involved—or aspire to be involved—in the creation of film, TV & gaming projects at an “above-the-line” level.

Our membership roster currently includes aspiring and working Southern directors, producers, and screenwriters of all ages and experiences.

Because we champion local filmmaking, SFC members must either reside in Otago or Southland or have a demonstrable close personal connection to the region.
