Filmmakers in London - Looking to connect and collaborate. Stills on my new Short Film

Hi Everyone,

I've made a short film and it's currently in post production but looking to raise some funds needed to finish off post production i.e foley artist fee, music rights and festivals fees.

The project is open to collaborating with someone who can help with funding through crowdfunding, sharing links etc. Someone who has experience in that field or have connections to be able to raise funds.

Funds not needed till end of September.

Can send a pitch deck with cast and crew info, where the money is needed, total cost.

Happy to offer a credit role on a short film already shot and in post.

Some Stills from my new Short Film 'Found You

Hi Everyone, So 2 weeks ago I wrapped production on 'Found You'.

Synopsis:
A woman invites her date over for the evening. What begins as a seemingly ordinary encounter between two women gradually reveals a far more dangerous agenda lurking beneath the surface.

Manage to get a crew together that I had never worked with before, DOP, 1st AC, Sound Recordist, Set Dec, Producer, 1 of the actress in the short film and for post-production Editor and everyone really worked well together to make this short happen within 1 DAY. 10 pages long, 1 location, 2 actresses.

Used my own funds to cover everyones travel + food expenses + Camera / lighting equipment.

Currently in Post-Production now.

Not sure if its right to post as well, but as the project is in post-production I am OPEN to collaborating with someone to help me raise funds for Post - Production that will be used for Foley Artist, Composer & Film Festival Fees, through crowd-funding campaign etc. Happy to send a break-down and offer a credit as 'Executive Producer' role.

Shot this short film with a 2-person crew. I wrote, directed, DOP, 1st AC...

Made a short film that was made with an incredibly small team: only two people on set and shot in 1 day. I wore pretty much every hat possible from writer, director, producer, cinematographer, camera operator, PA, and everything in between. The only role I didn't cover was sound recording.

I made the short film for around $400 total. Made it as a challenge to what I can do with limited resources/budget. I know there are some things lacking like cinematography, story elements half way in etc.

Story: a man who has decided he wants to end his engagement and the difficult conversation that follows. 

If interested in the short Link Below:

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts, both as filmmakers and as viewers and thoughts about the ending.

Have another in post production, a 13th century historical drama and another short project in pre-production, due to shoot end of July with a good camera team, production designer etc.

Submitted short to Austin Film Festival, received an email confirmation from one of the team members.

I usually get a conformation to my email from film freeway about my submission to the festival but for AFF I got an email confirmation addressed to me directly about my short submission from one of the team members (i assume) and other information included when will the status be updated, passes etc.

Wondering if this is normal as I didn't receive anything from other festivals that I submitted too.

Maybe just over thinking it as they probably wanted me to know about their passes.

Hi everyone, London based filmmakers here.

My short film is almost done with its post production and looking to submit to film festivals here in UK. Some established film festivals ones and some lesser ones. Some I can definitely attend IF selected.

Wondering if anyone has any advice, tips on festival strategies. Thanks

Hey everyone,

London based filmmakers here. My short film is wrapping post-production this week and I’m starting to plan out a festival strategy.

A little about the short; Its a Period drama, set in the 13th Century England, Isle of Wight, based on a True Story of Isabella de Fortibus. Character Driven story.

There are a few Festivals I want to submit to in UK from established ones to some just starting out (maybe running for 5 years minimum).

This will be ready for TIFF submission too therefore, would like to submit to some established ones in North America.

I know its better to send to festivals where IF selected I can attend and meet with other filmmakers but also wondering IF this gets selected, and that is a BIG IF at TIFF, is it still worth it? Obviously would look great to say accepted at TIFF!

I have posters, stills etc ready.

Thanks!

Hi, I want to submit my short film to TIFF and the deadline is Friday 8th May. I'll be able to submit it with with 95% of the work done, fully edited, graded, music, end credits, vfx done, cleaner dialogue, audio levels balanced, etc. Just little of foley stuff that my foley artist might not be able to complete like footsteps, little sound effects here and there.

It's a period drama so wondering should I submit or leave it?
