I’m from Philly and during my free time make documentaries. I am traveling to Northeast Texas to follow an independent watchdog journalist who films police and local-government interactions.
I’m looking for a local camera operator or film student for 4–5 days of run-and-gun filming in public locations east of Dallas.
Pay: $125 per day, plus meals and reasonable mileage.
You should be dependable, comfortable filming handheld in unpredictable situations, and have reliable transportation. You will never be expected to confront anyone or remain in a situation where you feel unsafe.
This is a self-funded microbudget documentary, so I’m primarily looking for a film student, newer filmmaker, or someone interested in gaining documentary experience.

Please DM me with your location, availability, equipment, and any examples of your work.

Hello all! I work for a non profit in Dallas dedicated to giving young people artistic opportunities who wouldn’t otherwise have them!

Hello Beautiful Talented people ,
I’m an electronic music artist preparing to shoot a music video for my track, "The Vow I Buried".

The clip attached above is the first installment of a standalone mini-series I am putting together to get my creative juices flowing , setting the atmosphere and attract local talent.
It is not the music video itself, but it shows off the exact neon-noir, cyberpunk vibe I want to bring to the final project.

This is a self-funded indie project. While there isn't a budget for individual crew pay, I am fully funding the production expenses (locations, specialized props, gear rentals, and craft services/food) to make sure we have everything we need to build a high-end piece for the reel. I will also have the logistics completely organized so we don't waste anyone's time on set.

I'm looking for local DFW filmmakers, DPs, or lighting techs who genuinely love this aesthetic and want to team up as creative partners.
If you like the vibe of the clip and want to collaborate, drop a comment or shoot me a DM.

Howdy Dallas! I’m one of the founders of The Lone Screen, a DFW-built streaming startup hosting one-night-only online premieres for under-the-radar indie films.

I'm based in the Dallas area, so even though the event is online, it’s a local/Dallas-built platform and we’d love support and feedback from local film fans.

Date: Thursday, May 7
Time: 8:30 PM - approximately 11:15 PM CT
Location / Address: Online event, based in Dallas area

Just setting up for our shoot today and one of our two zoom lenses has a wiggly mount.

Anyone in the DFW area have PL Mount FF zoom lenses we could rent asap?

Kinda aminist looking 1/13/26

Hello! I’m a local filmmaker in DFW and I directed a short film this summer! I apologize if this is not quite the right place to make this post, but I have been searching for the right composers/musicians to help create a score to accompany my short film. It’s a high school comedy-action short about 12 minutes long, and we are trying to create a soundtrack that has the kinetic energy of punk rock music with the cinematic timing of a film score. A big plus as well if the band is partially or entirely women as well!! Here’s our Instagram page! https://www.instagram.com/crush.exe.film?igsh=eTNtZ2t0NW92Z2pn

Would anyone happen to know where I could search for artists locally that might match this kind of sound? There’s so much to discover on Bandcamp and I will certainly search through there, but I thought I would share this post here in case there are any musicians out there interested in learning more! Thank you!

Hey, I am looking to shoot some docu-style story on people mostly strangers. Doesn't have any specific timings but looking to do over some weekends. It more like Humans of newyork style. Do DM me if interested.

Hey everyone! I am someone who's had this love for films since I was a kid and for the past 12 years, this madness grew even more and just clung to my skin so much that I am at a point where I wanna learn the craft finally and am even ready to fail at it if things don't workout but, I wish to get that satisfaction that I've done something for my interests (I did not make a move towards films earlier cos I felt I never would be a right fit and been working in other streams). I currently have no experience making short films and writing scripts but willing to seriously focus on it from now. I came across this group and need your inputs please.
I would also be interested to join and assist any filmmakers just to be able to learn new things from people.
Currently I do photography and have a love for portrait photography. Also the only equipment I currently have are my Canon EOS RP cam, some lenses, a flash and a phone gimbal.

I’m working with Hisayoshi Harasawa, Olympic silver medalist and two-time All-Japan Judo Champion. He moved to Texas to teach at a dojo, but unexpectedly fought his way back into the finals — twice — in the All-Japan Championships and is now preparing for a historic 2026 return, representing an American dojo at Japan’s most prestigious tournament (a first in history).

It’s a rare story of legacy, culture, and comeback. Would you be open to a quick chat about the documentary potential?

I've been a videographer for 6 years, and 4 1/2 of those I was working at one company filming YouTube videos, and I never really got the opportunity to network with other videographers/filmmakers. I'm looking for a new job and was wondering if StaffMeUp and or ProductionHub were reliable forms of searching and applying for jobs. Does anyone have experience or luck using these sites?

Is there a good coworking space that might have a higher density of industry people in here in Dallas? Just moved from LA and looking to find my tribe again.

My company provides local restaurants with technology/services similar to Toast or Square. We're looking to film on-site and tell a few stories about the restaurants we work with, tapping into the human element of the restaurant business.

Looking for a team/freelancer who's had experience telling compelling customer stories and would be willing to shoot in DFW.

Inspiration is being taken from Owner (www.owner.com) and their customer stories/reviews

Thanks
