Why VC Matters

What our members say

Hear about the importance of VC directly from our community members:

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

Supportive networks like VC that create community by providing spaces for filmmakers/journalists to connect, learn from each other and reflect on our work are crucial for our survival in this industry. We need these moments of togetherness.

Rebecca Day

VC has been instrumental to my career as a freelance visual journalist and documentary filmmaker... Most of my work and connections have come through VC. I’ve worked for almost every major media outlet, shooting and producing incredible projects as a local who takes pride in showing visitors my community. I don’t know what I’d do without it.

When crewing up for a shoot or looking to hire new talent, we always turn to the Consortium’s forum first.

Bianca Consunji

Director of AI Enablement and Adoption, NBCUniversal

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.

Executive Editorial Producer, ABC News

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