Why Join the Montana Media Coalition?
Strength in Numbers
The Montana Media Coalition (MMC) is the statewide voice for filmmakers, crew, and media businesses. With over 200 current members—including filmmakers, supporters, and businesses—we stand stronger together.
What Membership Offers
• Networking – Connect with peers, crew, and industry leaders.
• Monthly Zoom Meetings – Stay informed, engaged, and connected statewide.
• Economic Events – Learn about opportunities and challenges shaping our industry.
• In-Person Networking – Build relationships that lead to projects and jobs.
Our Shared Wins
Together, we successfully lobbied the 2025 Montana Legislature to pass HB 326, which:
• Extended the MEDIA Act incentive program for 20 years.
• Added documentary projects to eligibility.
• Reserved “bucket” funds for Montana productions and crew.
Why Your Membership Matters Now
Montana currently has no incentive money available. To win funding back in the 2027 legislative session, we need a strong, united coalition. Membership dues support:
• Expanding our outreach and education efforts.
• Building relationships with political leaders across Montana.
• Advancing the Montana Filmmaker First Initiative to secure good-paying jobs telling our own stories.
The Call to Action
Be part of the movement shaping the future of Montana’s film and media industry. Together we can ensure that Montana stories are told, Montana jobs are created, and Montana filmmakers thrive.
