Hi, we're a group of local yokels with varying degrees of degrees. We all have
one thing in common, we love to have FUN and we love to make MOVIES! We're
looking for some other people around town who, in the words of Bryan Mills,
have a very particular set of skills (we'll settle for enthusiasm in a
pinch).
Acting, writing, camera, sound and lighting tech, SPFX, production,
animation, story boarding, wardrobe, editing, set design, props - you name it,
we'll exploit it.
We have a MeetUp™ group with the same name (Amateur
Filmmakers of Alaska) and encourage you to join and come discuss the
possibility of collaborating on some awesome and sometimes terrible short films
that will earn you neither money nor the respect of your peers.
Please come and
join us as we trudge the happy road to creative silliness and sometimes seriousness.

We are going to host a live watch of the NASA stream in our big theater as Insight lands on Mars.
From Starnet: InSight is set to touch down on Mars at around noon Pacific (3 p.m. Eastern) on Nov. 26, 2018. The lander will plunge through the thin Martian atmosphere, heatshield first, and use a parachute to slow down. Then, it will fire its retro rockets to slowly descend to the surface of Mars, and land on the smooth plains of Elysium Planitia
InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, is a Mars lander designed to give the Red Planet its first thorough checkup since it formed 4.5 billion years ago. It is the first outer space robotic explorer to study in-depth the “inner space” of Mars: its crust, mantle, and core.

Have you always been interested in making films but
couldn't get started because you didn't have money, experience, equipment, a
crew, actors, money, props, location permits, make-up, money, or money? Us too!
Hi, we're a group of local yokels with varying degrees of degrees. We all have
one thing in common, we love to have FUN and we love to make MOVIES! We're
looking for some other people around town who, in the words of Bryan Mills,
have a very particular set of skills (we'll settle for enthusiasm in a
pinch).
Acting, writing, camera, sound and lighting tech, SPFX, production,
animation, story boarding, wardrobe, editing, set design, props - you name it,
we'll exploit it.
We have a MeetUp™ group with the same name (Amateur
Filmmakers of Alaska) and encourage you to join and come discuss the
possibility of collaborating on some awesome and sometimes terrible short films
that will earn you neither money nor the respect of your peers.
Please come and
join us as we trudge the happy road to creative silliness and sometimes seriousness.

Join the Anchorage International Film Festival for two documentary films (one feature and one short) made in Alaska about Alaska.
Losing Alaska Directed by: Tom Burke
Losing Alaska is the story of the people of Newtok, some three hundred and seventy five Americans citizens whose homes are disappearing. As winter storms grow more fierce each year and steal more of the coastline, summer meltwaters surge down the Ninglick river and erode the edges of the town. Rising temperatures are melting the permafrost on which the town is built. Our film follows their efforts build a new town on safer ground before the inevitable flood washes their homes away.
Children of the Dig Directed by: Joshua Branstetter
In 2009, a 500-year-old artifact was discovered on the beach outside of Quinhagak, Alaska, opening the door to the most productive archaeological dig in Arctic history with 60,000 artifacts recovered so far. In 2009, the site was 50 feet from the ocean. Today it is ten.

Have you always been interested in making films but
couldn't get started because you didn't have money, experience, equipment, a
crew, actors, money, props, location permits, make-up, money, or money? Us too!
Hi, we're a group of local yokels with varying degrees of degrees. We all have
one thing in common, we love to have FUN and we love to make MOVIES! We're
looking for some other people around town who, in the words of Bryan Mills,
have a very particular set of skills (we'll settle for enthusiasm in a
pinch).
Acting, writing, camera, sound and lighting tech, SPFX, production,
animation, story boarding, wardrobe, editing, set design, props - you name it,
we'll exploit it.
We have a MeetUp™ group with the same name (Amateur
Filmmakers of Alaska) and encourage you to join and come discuss the
possibility of collaborating on some awesome and sometimes terrible short films
that will earn you neither money nor the respect of your peers.
Please come and
join us as we trudge the happy road to creative silliness and sometimes seriousness.
