FilmFolk is a portrait series that turns the camera toward the people who usually remain behind it. This thoughtful exhibition focuses on film industry crew members, the individuals whose labor, skill, and creative intelligence shape what we see on screen, yet whose presence often goes unseen.
Through a series of intimate portraits, FilmFolk offers a moment of pause from the machinery of production, allowing viewers to connect with these creators not just through their work, but through who they are when the set goes quiet. The exhibition invites reflection on authorship, collaboration, and the many hands involved in bringing stories to life.
Presented by the Cambria Center for the Arts, this exhibition is a meaningful stop for film lovers, artists, and anyone curious about the human side of filmmaking.
