Sutton Filmmakers was how I began my filmmaking career. It’s a fantastic place for help, networking and advice. – Will Tribble
Club Nights
There are always individual projects going on within Sutton Filmmakers. Members have the creative freedom to work in their own way. In addition to collaborative work, members lend their services to club projects e.g. making documentaries for local good causes. At club nights members seek assistance with technical setups for both types of ongoing projects. Recent club nights have included:
- Lighting Mock-ups for feature films
- Script Reading Evening for short films
- Green screen advice for promotional videos
- Practice interview techniques
Thanks to Sutton Filmmakers members for helping me make my award winning ‘London’ film. – Ian Durrant
