Training the Next Generation of Sacramento Creators
Access Sacramento is a nonprofit community media center serving Sacramento County by giving people the tools, training, and support to create with confidence. Through hands-on classes, workshops, equipment access, and production resources, community members can learn podcasting, video production, editing, studio production, and filmmaking while building practical skills, creative experience, and pathways to opportunity.
Our Mission
Access Sacramento lifts all voices by providing media education and local media platforms to engage the community in public dialogue and showcase creative expression.
Core Values
Access Sacramento's community empowerment mission is based on our inclusive core values.
Inclusion
We value inclusion which is why we provide media training and media distribution channels to the community in order to give access to those who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized for lack of resources.
Originality
We celebrate and encourage originality. It is this independent, unique, creative thought when shared with others enriches our community.
Diversity
We value diversity. We promote intercultural information and dialog in order to promote social empathy and to bring about a variety of ideas and solutions to communal problems, which better strengthens the community.
Localism
We value our locality, one of the most diverse counties in the country. We uplift our neighbors by capturing and archiving their creativity, their views and their actions on local media. We protect speech locally by providing free speech cable and internet distribution platforms for the community to use.
We’re thrilled to be out at the Cosumnes River College today, spreading awareness about Access Sacramento and connecting with the community!

Un-Fortunate Cookies by Jeffrey Ogata

A few words from Rob Gore and the executive director.
A Place Called Sacramento is still centered on human filmmakers. The film complied with PCS submission rules, but because it was created using AI, we are screening it out of competition. It is fundamentally different from the other PCS films and we want to use the screening to open a broader conversation about the impact of AI on filmmaking. We are also planning a community convening to continue that discussion.
You can also find a PDF version in the link in our bio.
We look forward to your input. Remember, your voice matters.
