Scary Cow Productions

Scary Cow (Scary Cow, the indie film co-op) is a community-based independent film production cooperative in San Francisco.

Introduction

Castro Theater

Scary Cow is an indie film co-operative based in San Francisco, California. Focused on teaching adults how to make films, it uses its website and in-person meetings to help filmmakers meet each other, pooling talent, assets, and financing, and putting together a crew to create short films within a four-month time period.[1]

Every four months, Scary Cow holds a screening, usually at the Castro Theater in San Francisco. The audience members are provided ballots to vote for their favorite films. Those ballots are tabulated and budgets are provided to the teams with the most votes. This encourages the teams with the best films to continue working together and creating additional films in the future.

History

Founded in February 2006[2] by Jager McConnel, Scary Cow has created over 200 films since inception.[3]
