Regional Film Partnerships

Promoting Colorado is a collaborative effort.  Through local tourism and visitors bureaus, economic development offices, and regional film offices we can better serve the film community.  Regional partnerships help us market the diversity of each region and identify local support services.

Film Festival Support and Promotion

The Colorado Film Office currently supports over 30 film festivals and educational events throughout each year.  We are here to help support existing events, both financially and promotionally, and identify new opportunities for communities.

Education for All Ages

We offer several types of continuing education and hands-on experience for filmmakers, students, and anyone interested in film, television, digital media, and animation.  Through local partnerships, we offer workshops, panels, networking events, and intensive classes.

Filmmaker Focus
Colorado’s filmmaking scene continues to grow at an unprecedented pace. More often than not, filmmakers are choosing to stay and work in the state rather than moving to Los Angeles or New York. The Filmmaker Focus is a partnership between the Denver Film Society and the Colorado Film & Video Association. The Filmmaker Focus series offers educational panels, networking events, fiscal sponsorship opportunities, and grants available for Colorado-based productions to ensure a thriving local film scene. For tickets and event information, visit DenverFilm.org.

Screenplay Reviews
Colorado residents only can submit an original screenplay, television pilot, or short script for free. Each script is assigned to a Colorado screenwriter or screenwriting professor who provides detailed notes and suggestions.

Media Professionals Career Connection
Colorado’s top industry leaders in film, television, and digital media tour colleges and film programs throughout Colorado to discuss the film industry with aspiring media students, which allows them to connect with current industry professionals about their career paths and network with people from a variety of specialties.  Click here for up-to-date schedule information.

Education Grants
We work with local film schools and high schools to provide production grants to help offer hands-on production experience.  Through the grant, schools produce an original documentary over one semester that will air on public television. To apply or obtain further information, email Taylor Tschida at [email protected]. The Education Grant Application is offered to all Institutions.
