ABOUT US

The AUPP Filmmakers Club was created to fill a gap: there wasn't really a space for students to learn about film or for the community to explore it together. What began as a simple idea soon grew into a creative space where students and anyone interested in filmmaking can learn, create, and connect without pressure or expectations.

Founded by Victoria Johnson, the club was built from a genuine passion for storytelling and a desire to create opportunities that did not previously exist.

"When I first started this club, it was just a small idea-something I created out of passion and love for filmmaking," says Victoria. "When I was younger, I had this dream of becoming a filmmaker, someone who could create stories that people could watch and really feel something from. But as I grew older, I realized there wasn't really a space or opportunity for that here. And that's exactly why I created the AUPP Filmmakers Club."

As the club developed, Victoria chose Keat Amrin as co-leader because of their shared vision and mutual trust.

"I chose Amrin because he shared the same interest and passion for the club. And also because I could trust him with it," Victoria shares.

For Amrin, joining as co-leader was about supporting a meaningful cause and helping build something impactful.

"I chose to become co-leader alongside Vic mainly because I respect the cause...""I chose to become co-leader alongside Vic mainly because I respect the cause and felt that once called to it, I am able to make a difference and contribute to Vic's efforts," says Amrin.

Together, they created a space where creativity, collaboration, and storytelling can thrive-giving students the freedom to explore film, learn from one > another, and grow as creators.
