who are we?

Turnip is an informal co-op of folks

Organized by Jim McQuaid, "Turnip" is a loose co-op of folks that includes some serious about filmmaking and some serious about having fun and few who aren't serious at all. There's no membership form, there's no cost. Anyone who helps out with more than one project is considered a member. The group includes people in college and people with kids in college.

The folks on this page are those who have been involved with multiple Turnip Video projects. The "co-op" is extremely informal. If you'd like to join all you have to do is help out - someone once said, "Showing up is 80% of life." Drop us an email.
