WELCOME TO MOVIE-MAKING IN THE MIDWEST

About Mid America Filmmakers

MAF is a not for profit organization that brings the art of film to Mid America (Indiana and bordering states) by expanding awareness of and interest in the social and cultural impact of independent filmmaking.
This is achieved by providing educational, creative and financial assistance to residents of Mid America who recognize noncomercial film as an important art form through which ideas are expressed.

The MAF Community

Mid America Filmmakers offer an extensive network of filmmaking, screenwriting, acting and other film-related activities throughout Indiana, Michigan and the Midwest.
Aside from attending our monthly MAF Meetings, you can also directly support us by joining our membership, which will grant you benefits like: a newsletter, discounts in filmmaking-related local businesses and the fiscal sponsorship of your film-related activities either by applying for a grant or by winning our $100 movie project!

Support us!

As a not for profit organization, MAF depends on your support to continue its mission! Consider making a donation:
