JOIN OUR SHORT FILMMAKERS GROUP 🎬

Try our Edinburgh Short Filmmakers Group – a hands-on experience where you'll get stuck into real filmmaking from concept to completion.

This week: Development. Focusing on stakes, character motivation and obstacles, we'll be fleshing out the story and structure of our short film ideas. After welcomes and a brief presentation we'll split into groups and expand our story treatments with beat sheets, character studies and more detailed story outlines.

In subsequent weeks we'll carry our ideas forward into the stages of pre-production, production and post-production, through to completion. Unlike many film groups that focus on theory and discussion or get bogged down trying to get a project off the ground, we’re all about doing. This is your chance to learn and develop practical filmmaking skills through real collaboration. Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your abilities.

We are able to operate thanks to our members, who pay a monthly fee of £15 (after a one off £20 joining fee) - however there is no charge for coming along to see what we're all about. First three weeks of attendance are free.
