Filmmaking Porto

Let’s keep it easy, creative, and fun!

Join us for a relaxed afternoon at Base Porto, under the olive trees, with drinks, good conversation, and some light filming for anyone who wants to jump in.

This is a true social meet-up:

• No formal introductions
• No agenda
• Just filmmakers, creatives, and storytellers hanging out
• Plus a little casual filming if you’re feeling inspired!

🎥 We’ll capture a few playful shots—group cheers, casual scenes, and spontaneous moments—that anyone can be part of (totally optional!). You'll walk away with new connections... and maybe a new favorite candid "action shot" of yourself.

***

💡 What to Bring:

• Comfortable clothes
• Good vibes
• Your phone/camera if you want to grab your own shots
• Sun hat or sunglasses (optional but Base is sunny!)

***

Come meet, laugh, film a little, and enjoy a chill Porto afternoon together.
RSVP to let us know you're coming!

Ready to bring some characters to life?

Join us for a fun, casual table read of Phantom’s Game — an original short film script created right here in Porto!

We'll hand out scripts, assign parts, and read through the story together — full of tension, twists, and dark humor.

No acting experience required—just bring your voice, your energy, and your love for storytelling.

What to expect:

• Quick intro to the story and characters
• Roles assigned on the spot (feel free to swap around for fun!)
• Casual, friendly vibe — this is about exploring the story together
• Drinks, laughs, and maybe some dramatic deaths (in the script, of course!)

***

💡 What to Bring:

• Your best reading voice (dramatic pauses encouraged)
• Enthusiasm for playing a role—or just reading stage directions

***

Let’s bring Phantom’s Game to life around the table—one voice at a time!

Looking to collaborate, cast, crew up, or join a project? This is a structured filmmaking meetup—not a social hangout—where every attendee gets a moment to speak and share.

Are you a filmmaker, actor, writer, cinematographer, editor—or just passionate about storytelling? Join us for the second Filmmaking Porto MeetUp, a space designed for creative minds to connect, share, and collaborate.

This MeetUp is not a casual social hangout—it’s a focused and structured session built to create real opportunities.

Everyone attending will have a chance to briefly introduce themselves to the full group:

• Who you are
• What you do
• What you're working on (or want to be working on)
• What you're looking for

🎬 Speak Up: Share your background and what you’re hoping to find or offer.
🤝 Connect Intentionally: We’re keeping things focused—no scattered side conversations.
🌟 Collaborate: Discover projects in the works or find people ready to build something new.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, you’re welcome here—as long as you’re ready to participate.

Let’s continue building a strong, supportive filmmaking community in Porto—where introductions lead to action.

Want to think faster on your feet, unlock new ideas, and become more creatively fearless?

Join us for an improv session designed specifically for filmmakers, actors, writers, and creatives of all levels — where we’ll stretch our spontaneity, sharpen our instincts, and have a ton of fun doing it.
Through a series of playful, high-energy improv games, you’ll explore how to:

• Respond to unexpected moments with confidence
• Build richer characters on the fly
• Strengthen your storytelling muscles
• Break out of perfectionism and lean into creative flow

***

Why it’s great for filmmakers:
Whether you’re behind the camera or in front of it, improv helps you:

• Direct with clarity and flexibility
• Act with authenticity and presence
• Write dialogue that feels real and reactive
• Stay open to those “happy accidents” that can make a scene magic

***

What you’ll walk away with:

• More creative confidence and spontaneity
• A stronger connection to your instincts
• New ideas sparked by on-the-spot play
• A deeper appreciation for collaboration and trust
• And honestly... a great night with a bunch of cool, creative people

***

No experience needed. Just bring:

• Comfortable clothes
• Your imagination
• A willingness to say “yes, and…”

We’ll meet in the private upstairs space at NOLA 2.0. Come ready to move, laugh, and explore the edge of your creativity.

It’s going to be a fun, freeing evening. Hope to see you there!
