About Us

Davis Filmmaking Society (DFS) is a student-run club designed to foster filmmaking talent and aspiration at UC Davis. Through workshops and movie-making, members help each other grow in the multifaceted art of film. Every role is pivotal to the success of a film. At DFS we value writers, producers, directors, production assistants, editors, and everyone behind the camera just as much as the actors in front of the camera.

DFS is committed to being a social and educational club for filmmakers regardless of experience level. Working with actors, crafting a creative vision between the writer, director, and editor are all critical skills of the film industry. Our regular weekly meetings consist of workshops, socials, and screenings of DFS short films.

We encourage new filmmakers to join the club productions during the quarter, recruit other members for personal projects, and showcase their work in our end-of-the-year DFS Film Fest.
