What our members say about Sutton Filmmakers

Filmmaking Workshop by Sutton Filmmakers - Hands-on Training for Aspiring Filmmakers

I joined Sutton Filmmakers club about 5 years ago and in that short time the members of SFM have helped me achieve some amazing results. My first short film project, “Almost Perfect” was made with SFM and has been accepted into festivals and won an award.

Paul Howard - Producer and Sutton Filmmakers Club Secretary

When I joined the Sutton Filmmakers club, I thought I knew a lot and quickly realised I knew nothing. Now I understand a lot more but in the scheme of things I still only know a little bit. But apparently, you can teach an old dog new tricks!
