Hi everyone,
I co-run the Forest Film Club. We host a monthly event called Short Film Thursdays which takes place at The Birds in Leytonstone on the last Thursday of every month. Up coming dates - 30th May, 27th June, 25th July etc. We provide a platform for great shorts, we hold Q&A sessions with the filmmakers and we provide filmmakers with audience feedback and photographs of the events.
Submission are free and we are open to all genre and styles but films need to be under 20mins. To submit your film for consideration, please send a link for an online screener to forestfilmclub@gmail.com
A couple of things that have been said about our event:
"Had a brilliant time screening my film at Forest Film Club last night. A great selection of short films and a really engaged audience.” Filmmaker James Schlesinger.
"Such a great event in a lovely venue. A wonderful selection of films, well organised, and the opportunity to ask the directors questions too! All in all a very relaxed and enjoyable evening!” Member of audience, Ashleigh Cole.

Hi, Anthony,
I've recently posted a sardonic comedy, DOWNSIZING OF THE GODS, about what happens when a predatory multinational corporation takes over THE COMPANY OF THE GODS and all of a sudden the Deities are scrambling to find new lines of work after 10,000 of years of occupying the same position.
This would be the first screening ever, and I would be both honoured and delighted if you included it in your series.

Hi Anthony, Here's a link to my part-animated short. It's been doing the festivals and won a couple of awards but I've not had a screening in London so that would be fun.

Hi Anthony,
Here's a link to my comedy short (12mins) The Ditch.
https://vimeo.com/267710839/492b5d001f
It was actually filmed in Hackney and Bethnal Green. It was selected for London Short Film Festival and is currently touring the country as part of New Shorts: IRL.
I'm out of the country until August (I'm not sure if you're planning a Forest Film Club post July) but you can reach me at a.barnston@gmail.com should you need to.
Best
Anabel
