Blank State is a collective of filmmakers who believe the future of independent cinema is collaborative, not competitive. We pool our resources, our crews, and our experience to make ambitious, cinematic work at a level that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with bigger productions.

We’re building a model where filmmakers elevate each other’s work and hold one another accountable — pushing the craft higher, creating films that transcend identity and expectation, and making indie cinema that’s both bold and commercially viable.

Our first slate brings together four directors, one shared location, and four short films shot over four days. A unified vision, four distinct voices, and a collective commitment to excellence.

Blank State isn’t DIY. It’s independent film… done right.
