History
Cinécoop was created in 2013 by Geneva Guerin, Martine Asselin, Gabi Kislat, Gwendal Creurer and Tamara Herman to provide quality film production services.
The intent is to support independent content producers without forcing the release of creative or budget decision-making. As a cooperative, members pitch project ideas and selection of works for production supported by Cinécoop is done by a committee of its members. Members of the Coop can take part in decision-making and anyone can apply to become a member.
