The Nashville Filmmakers Guild began like most groups, it started with a need. A need for community, growth and collaboration. Jon Bufkin saw this and through his friends and acquaintances sought to begin a group that would fill the void that he and others knew could be filled.
Becoming a member not only supports the efforts of NFG but also saves you money on exclusive deals from NFG Sponsors, discounts on NFG Workshops and a Members-Only access where you have direct communication with other members and sponsors.
Developing relationships with industry professionals and leaders allows us to stay relevant in an ever changing medium. Sponsorships fosters that relationship as it allows an open communication with our members and members are more knowledgable about Sponsors products and services.
For those who just love supporting the creative arts becoming a Foundation Patron is a way for those outside of the film and video industry to be part of the NFG family and help support the educational efforts as well as community initiatives such as StoryGive.
