Calling local filmmakers!

Film London is teaming up with KEME Productions, SetReady, and Act Out! to produce a series of short films made in London, by Londoners, featuring London.

We'll be looking for screenplays, line producers, directors, ADs, DPs, sound recordists, grips, gaffers, PAs, wardrobe, make-up, art direction, composers, and all the post production positions, ALL FROM LONDON.

Each film will be produced in a single shooting-day. We have to work quickly and efficiently, just like the industry does!

Although it may not be industry scale, we have budget for everyone to get paid. While we want everyone to be compensated, this project is more about experience, creativity, and supporting your community. We are trying to mimic low-budget, MOW-style productions as closely as we can.

A quick note about legalities; Film London will own the final film. We will have the right to screen, distribute, and use the screenplay, footage, and final product as we see fit (for non-profit reasons). We will NOT however, own the Intellectual Property of the concept or characters, which will remain the property of the author.
