Anthology Pitching Night
Directing for the Anthology
April 1 @ 7:45 pm – 10:00 pm
Session led by Adrian Dean & Rhys Davies
The Anthology Film Project is moving forward, and we are now entering a crucial new stage – assigning directors to the scripts! This is your chance to take the helm of a short film, bring a script to life, and gain hands-on directing experience.
We’ve received nearly 30 short scripts, each under 10 minutes, and while some already have directors attached, many are still open for pitching.
📅 Date: Tuesday, 1st April 2025
🕖 Time: 7:45 PM – 10:00 PM
📍 Location: Parochial Rooms, 42 The Broadway, Cheam, Surrey, SM3 8BL
How to Get Involved as a Director or a Producer
🔹 Browse the Scripts – All available scripts are now uploaded to the club website on our Anthology Pitching 2025 page. Those scripts that are open for pitching will be on that page. Each script includes a short synopsis and the full script to help you decide which one suits your vision. This page also includes a form for you to complete to let us know that you want script you want to pitch for.
🔹 Prepare Your Pitch – If you’d like to direct an available script, prepare a short pitch outlining:
- Why you want to direct or produce this script
- Your creative vision – tone, style, inspirations
- Production ideas – locations, casting, crew needs
Again see our Anthology Pitching 2025 page for full details.
🔹 Attend Pitch Night – On the night, each person will have 2-3 minutes to present their pitch. If multiple people pitch for the same script, the decision will be made based on experience, vision, and suitability.
Important Notes
- If you wrote a script, you are welcome to direct it, but any additional scripts you submitted must be directed by someone else.
- If you are new to directing, don’t worry! We can pair you with a mentor to support you throughout the process.
- Once all scripts have directors, we will move forward with casting, scheduling, and pre-production.

This is a fantastic opportunity to direct a short film, develop your skills, and contribute to one of Sutton Filmmakers’ biggest projects yet. Whether you’re an experienced filmmaker or stepping into the director’s chair for the first time, this is your moment to shape a film from script to screen.
