Shooting People has been a fantastic partner for BAFTA, helping us deliver our aims of connecting established and emerging film talent – most recently with our joint programme, Short Sighted! Well done Shooting People, a decade of bringing new filmmakers together deserves a special celebration.
Amanda Berry, BAFTA Chief Executive
I’d genuinely say that the advent of Shooting People and the community it’s created is the single most exciting thing to have happened to the UK’s film industry in the past decade. As formal partners, The Script Factory’s relationship with SP resulted in both Screenwriters Network and Script Pitch list which we were proud to help establish. Beyond that, we use SP ourselves daily: as somewhere we look for ideas; as a way to get information out to a huge user group; and, most importantly, as a place to get a feel for the massive encouraging sense of energy coming from the newest part of the industry. Shooting People – if only the rest of the world was like it!
Briony Hanson, The Script Factory

Shooting People is an amazing example of what filmmakers can accomplish when they join forces. Congratulations on your ten-year birthday! I can’t wait to see what is in store for the next ten.

Isn’t it funny how birthdays for companies are a sign of vitality and success while birthdays for the rest of us are sick reminders of our impending death? I don’t know why but since I was five every year on my birthday I think of this poem, muttered by the world’s grumpiest, and in my opinion greatest, Haiku poet on the eve of his death:
"A bath when you’re born, A bath when you die How stupid."
ISSA.
Exactly. Yeah. Well anyway. Happy Birthday Shooting People! Love your aging asses!
Brent Hoff, Wholphin
10 years, wow! Amazing foresight in seeing the internet as a place for filmmakers to share resources… this is only the beginning.
