Description
an Diego Filmmakers was established in September 2005 by award-winning writers, directors, and producers who came together to create a synergistic resource for filmmakers. The association’s first events featured presentations by Silver writer Chrisanna Northrup, former San Diego Film Commission vice president and director of features Kathy McCurdy, and Tombstone producer Bob Misiorowski. The founding board of directors was comprised of writer-director Dan Margules, producer-writer Aaron Matthew Kaiser, producer-director Gerald “Wade” Varney, writer-director Robin Rigby, and Video Gear founder Martin Banks.
Since then, San Diego Filmmakers has produced years of events which have featured exceptional guest speakers, including actor Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica), character actor Doug Jones (Hellboy, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer), actor-comedian Mark Christopher Lawrence (The Pursuit of Happyness, Chuck), actor Faran Tahir (Iron Man, Star Trek), writer Jimmy Diggs (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager), Emmy Award-winning producer Erik Bork (From the Earth to the Moon, Band of Brothers), Sundance Film Festival award-winning director Destin Daniel Cretton (Short Term 12), and Oscar-nominated director Gregg Helvey (Kavi). For more examples look at our list of past events.
San Diego Filmmakers formally incorporated in 2012 and was recognized by the IRS as 501(c)(3) charatible organization in 2013. Francine Filsinger took over the presidency in October 2014 with a focus on the Encinitas Student Film Festival and re-establishment of the San Diego Film Commision.
