THE VISION
Let’s be honest.
Th film biz can be lonely.
We’re so busy hustling,
It's hard to make lasting connections,
To find others who dream big,
And are willing to go the distance.
What if the people you live with
Could be the same people you make films with?
What if you could join a creative residency
where your housemates are your crewmates?
That's the idea behind Video Village.
A place where filmmakers live together,
Build together,
And produce a slate of projects over several years.
THE VIBE
Morning coffee and rolling hills.
Long dinners and cozy campfires.
Late-night brainstorms.
And working with friends.
Time to think.
Space to create.
THE GROUNDS
Great work begins with the right environment. Video Village offers a peaceful home base where collaborators can unplug, connect, and focus on the work. Though it feels removed, New York, Philly, Baltimore, and D.C. are all just a few hours away.
THE WORK
From dystopian thrillers to dark comedies, Video Village’s slate explores power, technology, and the hidden forces shaping modern life.
In addition to our core slate, members are invited to pitch original ideas that help determine what the team makes next.
JOIN THE
FOUNDING TEAM
At Video Village, we believe talent compounds through proximity.
Traditional residencies bring artists together, but everyone works alone. Video Village is different; every member shares the same mission: create the films we want to see and ‘the village’ we want to live in.
We're not looking for people to fill jobs—we're looking for founding members. Creatives inspired by our unique slate. Builders passionate about solving hard problems.
As Video Village grows, we expect our founding members to grow within it, becoming the producers and leaders who will help shape its future. Our goal isn't to produce a single film, but a resilient system that keeps us working. It's not about scattering when production wraps. It's about staying together, and building momentum from one project to the next.
