Calling filmmakers/actors based in Waltham Forest

6 years, 10 months ago - Dominic Stinton

Waltham Forest has won the bid to be named London's first Borough of Culture in 2019, by drawing heavily on the borough's creative heritage.
As part of the cultural events planned for 2019, the council are supporting creative activities from local residents.
I have a submission for an exciting film/multimedia project and would like to involve other locally (Chingford, Leyton, Leytonstone and Walthamstow) based filmmakers and actors.
My filmmaking experience includes directing a screened Cannes Film Festival (2007) documentary about Walthamstow Market and being a judge at the inaugural Walthamstow International Short Film Festival (2010) alongside Stella Creasy MP and Time Out critic David Jenkins.
Whatever it is that you do, there could be an opportunity for you to be involved in a funded project which will get considerable exposure.
If this sounds like something which you'd like to be involved with, don't hesitate - get in touch!

Hi Dominic.

I have an actress/playwright friend who lives in Leytonstone. What's your email address please as she's not on SP and I'll ask her to drop you a line.

Thanks
Jane Bowhay

Hi Dominic,
I’m an actress / writer based in Leyton. My short film ‘Ambition’ was shortlisted for the Eastern Edge Film Fund last year (the Redbridge/Waltham Forest arm of London Calling).
I’m keen to get involved!
Thanks, Jess

Hi Dominic,

I'm an actress/producer from Leyton. I trained at The Oxford School of Drama, graduating 8 years ago. I was only recently asking a few friends if they'd heard of any events to get involved with or screenings happening so I'd very much like to come on board if I can. Here's a link to website https://www.melissadean.me/ It's great to see how many other artists live local too from all the responses!

Thank you
Melissa

Hey,

I lived in Walthamstow until very recently. I live in Chadwell Heath so travel to Walthamstow isn't an issue. I have previously volunteered for the Walthamstow International Film Festival with LIza Fletcher for a short film project with children. I've recently graduated from university (Film and TV, BA) and I'm looking for runner work, or 3rd assistant director. Thanks, would love to get involved.

Best,
Charlie.

Hi Dominic,

Not sure if you're considering people from as far afield as Barnet? if so I'd be interested in getting involved. I'm a director/writer/editor, mostly doing TV ads but have made a number of short films too.

You can see some of my work here: https://www.robheardfilms.com

If of any interest please feel free to get in touch.

Best of luck with the project.

Rob
