☀️ August at SP ☀️
Thank you ????
Big thanks (truly, BIG thanks) for the messages that have come in about SP closing later in the year. It has meant a lot, to all of us. Also, a massive shoutout to all the orgs who’ve reached out to offer Shooters some amazing deals for the rest of the year. We’ll keep you updated in the bulletins with all the good stuff coming your way.
???? KNEECAP FILM MASTERCLASS / ONLINE / THIS WEDS AUGUST 6th / 7PM ????
Join fellow shooters and get a ticket to our next online masterclass with the Director of Kneecap (a Shooter!), alongside his producer. Bring your questions and find out how you make a boundary-pushing, genre-bending, radical and hilarious film like this, particularly when it’s your first feature.
KICKSTARTER: New FilmStream Collective Fund for Features
A new initiative has been dropped by Kickstarter & created in partnership with Tubi, to help indie filmmakers with funding and distribution support for features. The fund is designed to support filmmakers with final or near-final cuts, helping cover critical post-production costs. The deadline is August 31, 2025 and you’ll need to have launched a Kickstarter campaign by the end of August to be eligible for it.
Belong to SP? Yup, we’re closing in Oct, BUT of course we want you IN for the final stint! The next months will be the busiest time for all Shooter members wanting to connect with each other. We’re also offering a one-off rate of £5.95/month until we close. So if you’ve ever wanted to be a part of it, or wanted to join an indie production, now’s the time! Simply add your details here, and the discounted rate will be applied automatically.
GO MEMBERS
- Along with individual filmmakers, actors, writers, producers, composers and crew, there’s also a bunch of brilliant organisations who belong to the SP community, who are working to build connections for indie filmmakers all over the UK, and a hell of a lot more. We’ve added them together in a directory list, because you need to know them ????
GO LOOK
- So this looks intriguing.. My First Film is a hybrid documentary/online-journal/narrative feature, but also a re-enactment of Zia Anger’s 25-year-old self's experience making her first movie….
