Independent Nonprofit · Pittsburgh, PA
» Where filmmakers start their next chapter.
INDENT connects filmmakers at every stage to professional independent productions, experienced mentors, and meaningful opportunities in Pittsburgh through paid, embedded programs that open doors and strengthen the region's independent creative community.
» Who We Are
INDENT is an independent nonprofit connecting emerging and professional filmmakers to working productions in Pittsburgh. Through paid, embedded programs, Emerging Filmmakers join professional projects full-time for three months, learn from experienced professionals, and walk away with production credits, connections, and hands-on experience.
We are not a classroom. We are a place to do the work and create.
Why "INDENT"? An indent is the small shift that starts a new paragraph. Every placement is the start of a new chapter.
