Merry Christmas Everyone!
Christmas Time…
18th December 2011
As we are entering the Christmas break and end of the year, everyone is in a bit go slow mode but we hope your filmmaking is going to continue through this festive period even if it means taking a break from devouring that turkey.
Obviously many of us will be going home, going away or just busy doing the usual festive stuff so we are not going to have another meeting this year but it will all kick off again in the year bigger, stronger and better!

Calling all actors!!
29th November 2011
We are having a shortage of actors at the moment and some projects are being seriously hindered by this.
So if you are an actor yourself or know anyone who is then please register on the website so when any future project arises our fellow filmmakers can find potential actors more easily.
This is a great way for amateur actors of any experience of getting involved in grass root film projects in the local area and develop your show reel. In the past we have actors from college societies, first timers and experienced stage actors getting into film so this really is a good way of getting involved whatever your background.
