VC Testimonials

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:

Don’t take our word for it!

In the early days of my post-graduate career, one of the most helpful aspects of VC was the gig alerts; I would apply for so many random jobs, which then led me to meet so many people in this industry. VC helped me build a professional network in the early stages of being a freelancer, which is so daunting in any industry, but especially in ours.

Sebastian Tuinder

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 has a very special place in my heart. I appreciate the effort that is made by the organizers to make it a truly useful and focused resource for documentary filmmakers. I have found a lot of great collaborators through this space (including the editor of my feature narrative film, who brought something to the table that traditional narrative video editors seemed to be missing). I love this place, and I'm happy that it continues to foster community and good will.

Cory Choy

Producer / Sound Engineer, Silver Sound, Inc

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

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 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!

Bianca Consunji
