Who we are

We are Miss Takes Film Club®

A Houston-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in October 2023. What began as a conversation between two Houston Community College students has grown into a thriving community of filmmakers, actors, writers, and storytellers. We are not just building a film club, we are building a movement.

Voices from our community

"Being part of Miss Takes Film Club has been remarkable. Ever since the organization's inception, it has constantly been welcoming and professional. Here, everyone understands that mistakes happen — from the people just starting out to those with the most experience."

Gabriela Rodriguez

Member

"As someone who has little to no film experience, Miss Takes means a lot because now I have a community I'm able to talk with and ask questions about. It's helped me gain my confidence to be behind the camera."

Ronnie Gainey

Member

"Being a part of Miss Takes has made what felt like a fantasy to work in filmmaking into a reality."

Beyond film

Our responsibility extends beyond the screen

As we grow, we are developing relationships with Houston organizations across food security, youth programs, health, and education. This is just the beginning.
