Filmreel

Arts Management System (AMS), powered by FAVA, is a cloud based management suite to help arts & member-based, based organizations.

FilmReel powered by FAVA is a cloud based management tool for film and media collectives to manage membership, equipment, facilities, events, reporting and content - all in one easy to use web app!

Frustrated with the lack of options available to manage its core business, FAVA built FilmReel to solve the challenge of serving the diverse needs of more than 350 members - from tracking volunteer hours to equipment bookings, member dues to project completion and, most importantly, displaying finished films, shorts and experiments. The small team at FAVA was duplicating workflows, letting member needs slip through the cracks and spending too much time on their business rather than working with members on creative projects.

FilmReel is based on the original software developed by Sam Pillar for FAVA. It manages the many and unique vertical processes found at non-profit co-ops and collectives. It saves hundreds of staff hours, provides real-time member access across verticals, offers timely reporting, and collective tagging and preservation of decades of media production - making it immediately available to the entire community.

FAVA, The Film and Video Arts Society of Alberta, is part of a unique community of media collectives around the world and is excited to offer a SaaS product to foster long-term sustainability and further connections between media hubs. In addition FAVA is in the process of expanding its market by adapting it’s IP to fit the needs of other member based organizations.
