our why
We nurture a vibrant local film community, celebrate cinematic culture, enhance our craft, and create abundant economic opportunities for expert filmmakers and the greater filmmaking community across California’s Central Coast — a truly special place that, because of its varied and recognizable natural beauty, embodies its uniquely laid back, discreet, outdoor-oriented personality.
Between the ocean and the mountains, the valleys and the islands, the history of rancheros, missions, agriculture, and the everlasting impact of the original Chumash people, here lives the essence of an original California.
Events
805 Film Collective hosts monthly, in-person and virtual events that bring the community together and enhance our craft as storytellers.
