All members will receive our weekly e-mail newsletter detailing current operations, projects submitted by members, and ongoing efforts to build the film industry in Arkansas for Arkansans. |
|
Members who contribute in some way, be it with money, time, equipment, or other valuable contribution, will be voting members and will help choose the projects that are developed by the cooperative. |
|
Members are not required to contribute in any way to our resource-sharing framework; however, if nobody contributes, no movies get made, and nobody benefits. All we ask is that members contribute according to their means. Your contribution is not just an investment in a movie; it is also an investment in your own future as a film professional. |
|
While we cannot guarantee that every member's project will be produced by the cooperative, we can guarantee every contributing member involvement in our productions as well as all continuing benefits of our resoruce-sharing framework. Just as our resource- sharing framework will serve to accomplish the production of movies that would otherwise remain mere dreams, cooperative-produced movies will serve as invaluable on-the-job training grounds for hopeful writers, producers, directors, actors, and crewmembers. |

The Arkansas Independent Film Cooperative is a non-governmental entity to be operated by a six-member board of directors consisting of a Chair, a Vice-Chair, and four Directors. The six members shall represent the following aspects of the business: production and distribution, directing, writing, crew, and cast, and with exception of the permanent chair they shall serve voluntary terms not to exceed two years. Four director positions remain open. |
|
The cooperative's resource-sharing framework is geared toward the production of highly marketable independent films in Arkansas by Arkansans. The cooperative currently has one project in the works and a second under consideration. These first two projects were submitted by and will be produced under the supervision of experienced filmmakers. All subsequent projects will be chosen by the voting membership at large from a project pool submitted by the members and selected by the Board. The profits from each project will be either allocated to the members according to their contribution or funneled into future projects by the cooperative, depending on a vote by the contributing members. |
