I just wanted to express my appreciation for the multitude of resources at SWAMP. It is all a matter of a phone call –
no filmmaker is ever alone.

Independent Filmmaker Glen Pitre on SWAMP:

NOW WITH MORE BENEFITS! SWAMP announces new benefits that we hope will offer our members more flexibility and opportunity to pursue their filmmaking goals while fulfilling their individual needs. We recently partnered with Fractured Atlas, a New York-based non-profit organization, to provide new and unique opportunities for filmmakers of all levels. Through this partnership, SWAMP can now offer filmmakers a variety of benefits that will enable members to produce films as professionally as possible while keeping an eye on the bottom line. Need production insurance for your upcoming feature or short? SWAMP can help you get it at a fraction of what most insurance providers charge. Need affordable health insurance? Yes, we now offer that, too! This is all in addition to our regular benefits that include discounts to SWAMP workshops and events, discounts to film screenings at the Museum of Fine Arts and Rice Media Center, discounts on equipment rental and updates of local and statewide media-news through our monthly Media Bulletin e-newsletter and much more! Plus, you get the added benefit of knowing your contribution will help SWAMP to continue supporting filmmakers, video artists and educators by providing opportunities for exhibition, education and current information. Support SWAMP, Support Independent Filmmaking in Texas!
