What we’re about
Meet up for a few hours every weekend to enjoy making films together. No prior experience necessary.
At first we'll ease into it gradually, starting with just an SLR camera and very simple shots around Dublin. Over time, as we get more used to shooting, we'll add more gear and develop towards shooting finished works like short films, maybe even features.
The idea behind this is that many creative people who wish to make films put too much pressure on themselves to produce something brilliant straight away. Often the result is that they are too petrified to create anything at all.
We'll turn that on its head in this group. There will be absolutely no pressure to create something brilliant. We will just explore different ideas for shots and little moments of storytelling. For example we might think of a classic moment from a film and try to recreate it in Dublin. Or we’ll explore ideas for shots or scenes that have been kicking around our imaginations. Each week we'll build upon what we've learned. Over time, through gradual consistency and good spirit, we'll see where the creative process takes us. And of course, we'll meet new people, form a little community and have fun.
A little about the organiser: My name is Donal. I'm a professional actor from Dublin in my thirties. I trained at LAMDA in London and Trinity College Dublin. I've worked in film, tv, theatre, ads, voiceovers etc. The most notable screen project I've worked on was Game of Thrones and I've played lead roles in shows at the Abbey, Gate and Druid.
The kind of person we're looking for: Someone who loves film/tv, brings a positive, open attitude about the project and is willing to row in and see where it takes us. No prior experience in film or tv is required as we'll be starting very simply and taking a gradual pace.
