Founded in 2006 by award winning producer/director Marianne Leviton, the Boulder Filmmaking Incubator is a leader in producing independent movies… from short films to feature length… from narratives to documentaries… and winning numerous awards along the way.  

A reliable resource for Independent and Emergent filmmakers, the Boulder Filmmaking Incubator provides an environment where people from all disciplines of filmmaking can meet to share experiences, problem solve, bounce around ideas, and cooperate to make their films a reality. Our members (Incies) find that the opportunity to network and collaborate can be invaluable in helping a project reach its highest level of quality.

Working on your own projects? You may screen your work at our monthly meetings. Want to work on a project? Network with other filmmakers to get on board. Or… join in one of the Incubator’s Showcase group projects.

The Incubator meets every month at the Boulder Digital Arts facility in Boulder, Colorado.  Registration is required.  Go to our Meetup page to sign up for our next meeting.

Participation in the Incubator is intended for serious filmmakers of all levels of experience.  You must be 18 years of age or older to attend.

Cinematographer, Michael Watson, is a recent addition to Boulder; choosing our mountain life-style over LA’s hub bub to raise his family.  Like so many LA refugees, he now has the best of both worlds.  Michael has extensive commercial and feature film experience shooting for clients such as the NFL Channel and Miller Beer.  Earlier this year he completed a 3 month shoot in India for the high-octane, action film, “Roar,” set to be released in 2014.  Michael recently returned from Hawaii where he DP’d the pilot of a cable TV sci-fi series.  

Michael spoke about the journey of learning the craft of cinematographer; working his way up from camera assistant to DP.  He shared what it is like to work with award winning cinematographers such as Claudio Miranda (“The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button”, and “Life Of Pi”), Amir Mokri (“Bad Boys II”), and Daniel Pearl ( numerous music videos and television commercials.)
