Filmstack IRL LA Meetup
Note: There will be no Filmstack Meetup in February due to Slamdance plans! See you all in March!
FilmStack is a community that grew out of entertainment professionals writing and connecting on Substack – people using the platform not just to publish, but to think out loud about the industry, the work, and where things are headed.
Those online conversations eventually spilled into the real world.
FilmStack Los Angeles is a monthly meetup for anyone in film, TV, and the broader entertainment economy – from established professionals to new creatives still cutting their teeth. Writers, producers, directors, executives, assistants, editors, and digital creators are all welcome.
What to expect:
Conversations with people who actually work in (or are seriously pursuing) entertainment
Discussion about projects, careers, fundraising and the NonDē ecosystem
Drinks, conversation, and a chance to feel connected again
The last few FilmStack LA meetups have been brand-sponsored, with partners providing free food and drinks (up to a cap), and we’re actively working toward larger sponsorships and more brand involvement going into 2026.
Meetups currently take place at an outdoor bar in Highland Park, Los Angeles, with plans to eventually move into a dedicated private space.
Whether you’ve been in the industry for years or are just getting started, FilmStack LA is about showing up, meeting people, and finding creative collaborators.
