Find Your Film Crew in the Twin Cities

Minnesota is full of filmmakers who want to create work that matters. What has been missing is a dedicated space that brings everyone together. The Crewsaide connects local indie filmmakers, crew, and creators in a shared digital space to share resources, spark collaborations, and build a lasting creative ecosystem.

Securing a Studio Built for You, by Us

Our digital network is the foundation for something much larger. The ultimate goal for The Crewsaide is to open a physical coworking and studio space in Minnesota built specifically for independent filmmakers. Turning this blueprint into reality requires a strong, active community following. By choosing a paid membership tier today, your commitment directly helps us build the proof-of-concept needed to secure the commercial space. You are providing the critical momentum required to establish a permanent home for Minnesota independent cinema.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Minnesota has no shortage of filmmakers who want to create more. What our local industry has been missing is a dedicated space that brings everyone together.

As a filmmaker, entrepreneur, and program manager, I have navigated the challenges of independent filmmaking firsthand. I built The Crewsaide because I lived this exact problem. Too many talented creators are looking for ways to expand their professional circles, share resources, and find reliable collaborative partners to get their projects made. This platform serves as a permanent hub to unify our voices, pool our local resources, and elevate the entire Minnesota film industry together.
