The creative industry in Indonesia, particularly the film, animation, and video subsector, is increasingly recognized as an important pillar of national development due to its contribution to economic growth, cultural promotion, and the expansion of creative networks. However, local film communities such as the Bulusari Film Village in Ungaran still face various obstacles, particularly limitations in screenwriting, production, and promotion skills. This study aims to describe the participatory-based mentoring process in strengthening the creative capacity of the community through training in screenwriting and short film production. The methods used are Participatory Community Appraisal (PCA) and Community Partnership Program (CPP), with stages including preparation, socialization, training implementation, and collaborative evaluation. The results of this activity show a significant increase in the skills of community members as demonstrated by differences in pre-test and post-test scores and the success of producing short films based on local culture. In addition, this program has succeeded in strengthening internal collaboration, increasing solidarity, and expanding the promotional reach of works through social media and local events. The academic contribution of this activity lies in the development of a participatory-based film community mentoring model, while its practical contribution is the empowerment of the community as both a culture and a creative economy actor. This program also has implications for strengthening the creative industry ecosystem while supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Moreover, the program has strengthened internal collaboration, enhanced solidarity among community members, and expanded the visibility of their work through social media and local events. This initiative not only provides academic value by developing a participatory-based mentoring model for film communities but also contributes practically by empowering the community as both cultural and creative economy stakeholders.
