Celebrating Women In Film 

As part of the Arts Network Sutton’s grant programme, Sutton Film makers were asked to complete a production with a positive message that supports and promotes creativity in the community.  

Our club members got their heads together and decided to work on an exciting project, incorporating a short comedy film called ‘Best Day Worst Day’, and an immersive documentary on Women in Film. This fun production Directed by Julie Childs, had a predominantly female crew and was written by the films lead actress Rachel Wright.

Rob Knox London Film Festival Award for Short Horror Lake on the Cabin

Several members of Sutton Film Makers Club teamed up with another filmmaking group to create the successful short Horror film ‘Lake on the Cabin’ (LOTC), Directed by Jem Karto. Filming took place in winter near Crawley, at a picturesque location with a rustic, lakeside wood cabin and jetty. They embraced the cold and muddy banks to shoot over three days and nights.

Getting It Right in Camera

At a recent Sutton Filmmakers club night on Tuesday 3 May 2025, club chairman Peter Leverick delivered a thoughtful and technically rich session on two crucial aspects of cinematography: Getting exposure and colour right in camera. Drawing on his decades of experience, including credits as a senior camera operator on Only Fools and Horses and Grange Hill, Peter guided members through the principles and practicalities of getting footage right in camera.
