The Lowdown Selection Process Filmmakers' Thoughts Audience Winner Future Projects Photos



Thanks to all of you who submitted your shorts for the first-ever Shooters screening of members films.

Only films that were submitted were included and they were selected down by the inexhaustible Ben Blaine and the Shooters team to 7 really, really great little films. Read WHY Ben wanted to screen these films!

Thanks too to all of you who made it down to the Summer Shoot Out in Hoxton Square on Aug 8

"It was a fantastic day and I never thought that so many dedicated people would turn up in 90 degree heat to watch our short films! I was very impressed. Thanks so much for organising, I have thanked Ben in profusion. Bloody marvellous. I really enjoyed the whole event and selection - great atmos, great venue, great bunch of films and people, (Good watermelon too)."
