Best Resource For Super-8 Filmmakers

Cinemaker Co-op

As video gives way to DV and becomes an art form, we identify with the shock on our grandparents' faces when the same thing happened as Super-8 gave way to Beta and VHS. The co-op is an invaluable resource for filmmakers wanting the physicality and quality of projecting real film (either Super-8 or 16mm). Even without a camera or a projector of one's own, aspiring filmmakers can rent from Cinemaker to shoot that three-minute epic. Processing labs, rental equipment, and even a venue to screen films are also available. Cinemaker offers quarterly contests with challenging themes like "Make a Film in 24 hours" or more recently "Make an Erotic Film," where the best of Austin's best shine in local, lo-fi stardom.
