The Cinemat

Mission

The Cinemat is an extracurricular registered 501(c)3 non-profit through which the Yale community learns and works in all aspects of filmmaking, such as sound, lighting, production design, camera operation, editing, and writing. We give back to the community through offering free commercials to New Haven nonprofits and small businesses, improving equity in the Yale film community, and partnering with local film festivals and public schools.
