Shadowing opportunities in London or Cambridge (UK)?

7 years, 11 months ago - Daniel Dunt

I am (budding) Screenwriter/Director (currently working as a Freelance Copywriter) looking for shadowing opportunities in Cambridge or London (UK). From September, I will be studying Film in Cambridge; however, I'm happy to travel into the big smoke.

I have been reading and observing (a lot), educating myself and writing on spec for the last couple of years; however, I haven't shared any of my work other than a screenplay for a 15-minute short, which received positive feedback at the BFI Future Film Festival earlier this year. I'm working on two features currently.

I'm looking to begin speaking to other film enthusiasts and professionals (a guy can't hide in his bedroom forever) and, if possible, spend some time shadowing individuals working in screenwriting, direction and production. I am yet to develop my practical skills (e.g. camera work), so I'd even be open to shadowing a camera person that's happy to share knowledge and insight.

Even if you just want to get a coffee and chat film, drop me a message.

Hi there.
I am currently looking for collaborations to shoot to film festivals. I'm a budding cinematographer and would like to collaborate with some screenwriters to bring their story to life, simultaneously build both our portfolios. If you have an interesting story, let's collaborate and try to work this out.
Possibly shoot mid September. Let me know if you're interested.

Hi Prapti,

Thanks for your interest!

The short I have ready would require some budget, so I'm not sure it would be suitable, and I wouldn't be able to prepare anything by mid-September. However, did you want to get a drink, put a face to the name, and see if we can work on something together in the near future? If we both have similar aims, I'd be happy to write a short specifically.

Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers,

Daniel

If you're on Facebook, try the Ruptured Screen group? Lots of Cambridge filmmakers there, a friendly bunch.
