Happy birthday to all Shooting People. I remember when I was 10. It was great!
Nik Powell, NFTS
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
Congratulations to Shooting People on reaching ten grand years! The essential network for independent filmmakers reaches a milestone – here’s to the next ten years – we wish you well Shooting People!’
Heather Croall, Director, Sheffield Doc/Fest
Shooting People has made an amazing difference to the continued strength of the independent film industry. Many happy returns, Shooters – here’s to another fantastic decade!
Maggie Ellis, Film London

Ally Derks, Director, IDFA
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.
Agnes Varnum, Documentary Blogger
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.
Arin Crumley, Filmmaker and Innovator (Four Eyed Monsters)
Happy birthday ladies and gentlemen ... your crew’s enthusiasm is top shelf. Keep it real for the next ten!
Karol Martesko-Fenster, co-founder indieWIRE.com, FILMMAKER Magazine, RES Media Group
Happy Birthday Shooting People! I’m proud to call myself an official member of an organization that is at the forefront of connecting filmmakers to filmmaking. Here’s to many more years of growth, success and anniversary parties.
Ryan Harrington, IndiePix Studios
