About

CAP Club is driven by film production.

We believe that the best way to learn film is to do it. We help students reach the next level by practicing what they love most and learning from each other.

Film excellence

At CAP Club, we believe ​in the power of storytelling. We strive the push the boundaries of student filmmaking by creating the highest quality projects possible. In addition, we host the largest student film festivals at Berkeley, gathering over 400 attendees each semester. 

We offer our members amazing industry speaker opportunities, collaborations with projects across Berkeley, access to film equipment—and of course, an invaluable space for our members to engage in an immersive learning environment that not only fosters technical skills, but also encourages creative thinking and nurtures leadership qualities.

Recently, our work has been recognized at film festivals and competitions, showcasing our commitment to excellence. However, our true success lies in the growth and development of our members and the positive impact our stories have on our audience.

A story of community

Our journey began in 2018 with a small group of film enthusiasts who were driven by a single goal—to create the most production-driven community for students passionate about cinematic arts. Today, we stand as a thriving community of filmmakers who are dedicated to working tirelessly on dozens of original production every semester.

We are a club of leaders and collaborators. Inclusive and diverse, we celebrate the multitude of talents that contribute to the world of cinema. Whether you're a writer penning captivating narratives, a director with a vision that knows no bounds, a cinematographer capturing the essence of emotions through imagery, there is a place for you in CAP Club.

But we don't stop there. We embrace all talents, even those beyond the traditional roles. Are you a brilliant musician? A skilled makeup artist? Or maybe you have an unwavering passion for producing and business. Whatever your talent, here, you are valued.
