What our members say

We believe that strong community plays an essential role in the creation and dissemination of impactful content, and VCers agree. Here's what some of our members have to say:
The Video Consortium has been my bedrock in the nonfiction film world, uniting me with kindred spirits who share my values and dreams. This global community has helped me forge unbreakable bonds and seize opportunities I could have never envisioned. Through VC, I can always find inspiring & talented storytellers who are committed to bettering the world and elevating one another along the way.

Souki Mehdaoui

Director, Futuristic Films
This community has been nothing short of home for me, and it reminds me constantly of the agency we carry as storytellers.

Colin Marshall

Video Producer, NPR
VC's Match Lab came at the exact perfect time for my project!

Lev Omelchenko
The Video Consortium was the first documentary collective that I joined! It provided the space to be in community with other filmmakers when I was starting out. It's been so wonderful to see the organization grow and support so many others over the years.

Poh Si Teng

Executive Editorial Producer, ABC News
VC helped me find vital funding for my documentary and continues to be a hugely valuable resource in my career. It’s a uniquely supportive and knowledgeable community that always has solutions for even the most esoteric issues of documentary filmmaking.

Jesse Rudoy
Video Consortium provided me with resources, mentorship and the confidence to produce, shoot and edit on my own. VC is a very caring and thoughtful community and I’m grateful to be a part of it!

Raji Ramanathan

Senior Supervising Producer, Wall Street Journal
VC has been instrumental to my career as a freelance visual journalist and documentary filmmaker. I don’t know what I’d do without it.

Nick Childers

Visual Journalist & Documentary Filmmaker, Freelance
VC has given me so much knowledge and it keeps me connected with the doc industry, which I love (and need).

Ariadna Cebrian

Video Editor, Prodigious (Publicis)
I can’t tell you how valuable and encouraging it is to show work at VC gatherings, especially thanks to its talented and supportive community. Time and time again, I’ve found collaborators through VC’s forum and through people I’ve met at the screenings.

Victoria Rivera
The Video Consortium has become a vital resource for the next generation of nonfiction filmmakers as they set out to tell important stories — in a world that’s in dire need of them.

Ann Derry
The Video Consortium provides critical resources to support visual journalists. What's more, the community network and screenings offer inspiration and encouragement for people trying to share important stories with the world.

Monica Racic

Digital Director, The New Yorker
I love VC because it connects me to a truly global community of filmmakers and journalists with a passion for telling stories that make a difference.

Aletta Harrison
I’ve been the VC Board president for the last couple of years because I know how important and valuable the organization is to the community. I wish I had the VC when I was a young filmmaker, a place to meet other filmmakers where I could learn and grow everyday.

Duy Linh Tu

Filmmaker, Professor, Columbia University
When crewing up for a shoot or looking to hire new talent, we always turn to the Consortium’s forum first!
