In a market where even Hollywood struggles to produce original motion pictures, BCC’s resource-based approach allows a sustainable pathway to green light original stories and pursue cinematic craft, irrespective of financial backing. Inspired by the spirit of community theater, the techniques of classic filmmakers, and the accessibility of digital equipment, BCC’s approach allows participants to delve into their craft, tell great stories and deliver outsized production value, consistent with the expectations of today’s cinema-goer.

Participants on our projects pool resources, such as locations, wardrobe, props, networks and talent, affording each project a higher level of value than would otherwise be financially attainable for small productions.

While accessible filmmaking equipment has democratized the space from a technical standpoint, the true value of a project is displayed on screen. From story to locations, talent to wardrobe, the impact of a big budget stretches well beyond the equipment. While these items and individuals can be acquired through financial means, they can often be acquired through collaboration and dedication to craft.

By embracing this collaborative spirit, BCC gains the freedom to green light original, cinematic works that our project participants are passionate about, delivering them to the screen in a professional manner.

No. Currently, all associated films and series operate as for-profit entities. Unlike non-profits, which prevent ownership, opening them up to challenges such as mission drift, business-model rigidity and revenue limitations, a for-profit model allows for the stability and flexibility needed to maintain quality in a collaborative environment. The challenges of independent filmmaking require a level of ingenuity and adaptability, which BCC is open to experimenting with. 

Currently, this looks like a revenue splitting model, with participants sharing in their project’s returns, though this model could be adapted or changed for future projects, and is currently implemented and assessed on a project by project basis.

We welcome submissions for involvement, both in front of and behind the camera. We have a submission portal on our website, which can be accessed here.
