Field Guide
This website is a resource for filmmakers who want to help make the film industry a more inclusive and supportive place. Here you’ll find information on starting a GUT-C chapter, as well as open-access resources with filmmaking tips designed to ‘ungatekeep’ knowledge and make it more widely available. This is not meant to be the definitive guide to filmmaking education, but rather a collection of resources we believe should be more accessible to everyone.

A Quick Field Guide Overview
How to Start a GUT-C!
Start a movement on your campus. Build your own GUT-C! — big or small.
Bylaws You Can Use ⭐
We created bylaws to help guide how GUT-C! operates as a student-led collective. If they’re helpful, feel free to adapt them for your own group. They don’t have to be followed word-for-word — think of them as a flexible template you can shape to fit your community’s needs.
