Meerkat Media Collective is a self-organized community of makers committed to creating innovative and thought-provoking film and new media.

Inspired by the communal nature of  meerkats, we value shared authorship and consensus process in our day-to-day operations as well as in our artistic endeavors.  Under a cooperative model, our members give creative and administrative time to the collective in exchange for material and non-material support.  We share skills, equipment and ideas with a firm belief that a healthy, inclusive process is as important as crafting quality work.

The Meerkat Media Collective is open to talented, hard-working people from all disciplines who are actively devoted to our mission.  Our ranks include filmmakers, musicians, teachers, writers, farmers, illustrators, designers, actors and puppeteers.  We cherish diverse opinions & backgrounds in the running of the collective and through our projects.

Meerkats are dedicated not only to our internal community but to the community around us, striving to provide a working model of collective creativity that inspires, encourages, and motivates others to tell their own stories.
