Phase 1: Early Creator Community (Q1–Q2 2026)

Onboard our first 50 Film Trip Creators in Tampa Bay, FL.

We’re starting local and intentional. Our first 50 creators will help shape what Film Trips becomes — not just a platform, but a creative family.

These creators fall into two groups:

  • 1️⃣ The Emerging Creator

  • 2️⃣ The Established Creator

What We’ll Do Together (as the first 50 creators):

  • Show up for each other’s Film Trips

  • Help generate early success stories

  • Build momentum through co-marketing & shared visibility

  • Host low-cost, high-value Film Trips to remove barriers for guests

  • Attend weekly meetups (in-person and digital) to brainstorm, refine ideas, and support each other

  • Create a foundation of trust, creativity, and collaboration

This isn’t a gig — it’s a founding community.
