What is CFC, Anyway?
Carolina Film Community (formerly known as Charlotte Film Community) is a gathering of the Carolinas’ actors, directors, producers, talent agents, coaches, crew, you name it! This group meets monthly with other like-minded individuals with the goal of creating more film in North and South Carolina. By creating film together, we give the Carolinas the reputation of an area that loves film, is experienced in creating a film, and is ready to put out more film into the world.

Our Story
Carolina Film Community, formerly known as Charlotte Film Community, began over a decade ago in April of 2009.
This grassroots effort to meet, create, and grow film in the Charlotte area began as just an idea between friends who loved film. Each time they worked on a film, they realized how much they loved being surrounded by other creatives and felt that others may feel that same way.
The Charlotte area had many people who were just waiting for an opportunity like this to meet and network with others in the industry!
Over the years, and as film incentives changed for North Carolina, the Charlotte Film Community decided to expand to include North Carolina as well as South Carolina and in doing so, rebranded itself as Carolina Film Community.
Since its inception, CFC has continued to provide a community atmosphere that encourages networking and collaboration with others in the area to grow film in the Carolinas.
