Why join Shooting People?

Shooting People was set up in 1998 to connect independent film makers, to help them share resources, knowledge and experience, to help them find an audience for their work.

Shooting People currently has 38566 members, and 660 new members joined in the last month. No independent film network is larger.

The recession has hit the film business pretty hard - media companies are downsizing, film projects are put on ice and budgets are cut. Join Shooting People today and stay connected, in the know and keep collaborating with leading creatives. When times are these bad, you need friends.

As soon as you join you can start reading and posting to the email bulletins which go out daily to the entire membership. You can also build a profile, which will enable you to be found by Shooters around the world: a kind of powerful online showreel.

Read how Shooting People has "been like film school" for Debs Gardner Paterson since 2002 and supported the release of her debut feature film.

Michael Winterbottom was one of five new patrons who joined us in 2010.
“It’s great to be involved with Shooting People. It’s really important to have space where filmmakers can meet and watch each others work”.

And here is a little more about us.
