For over ten years we've been helping aspiring film makers to widen their creative horizons, whether making low-budget shorts, documentaries or full-scale movies. We collaborate, communicate and share knowledge.
Our mission is to inspire the next generation of screen-smart creatives. We bring like-minded people together in a nurturing environment. - Peter Leverick
We help film makers develop their skills through mentoring and workshops, no matter what level they start from. Our members come from all walks of life and have a wide variety of skill sets. We meet every Wednesday 7.30pm in Cheam, Sutton.

What our members say…
I joined Sutton Filmmakers about 18 months 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.

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!
