Storytelling is the currency of ideas. Visual storytelling / Filmmaking is the most powerful form of storytelling. Up until recently, visual storytelling on a technical basis has been extremely expensive and required herculean mountain moving. Over the past ten years, we have seen amazing developments in technology that have brought the cost down and made opportunities for everyone who is interested to become filmmakers: Better/Cheaper: Computer Tech, Camera Sensors, Creative Tools like Blender, Virtual Production, LED / Lighting tech, Youtube as a delivery platform, VR, Robotics, Electronics, Collaborative / Communication tools. Wouldn't it be great if the cost and accessibility of tech could be made super available to everyone so filmmakers could focus on the most important part: the story? It's never been an easier time to make creative tools and technology, and it's never been a more important time to create and tell stories.
In the mid 70s to the mid 80s a group of computer enthusiasts would gather every 2 weeks to form the "Homebrew Computer Club". These were young creative software and hardware excited about making computers smaller, faster, easier to use and more accessible to everyone. Most famously, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs presented the Apple I Computer design there. In the spirit of the Homebrew Computer Club, we would like to create a community of likeminded people to help create the future of filmmaking / visual storytelling.
