Last week I posted looking for a group of South Bay LA filmmakers. I couldn't find one that existed, so I decided to create my own! We had our first meetup yesterday at Smog City Brewery in Torrance and it was a blast to meet such a collaborative group of people! If anyone is interested in joining us for our next meetup 7/16, join our discord or DM us on insta!
I’m a 25M living in North Redondo, and I’m officially exhausted from commuting an hour+ into Hollywood/DTLA to meet up with other film folks. Surely there are some creators down here in the South Bay, right?
About me: No film school background, but I’ve been writing horror for the past 3 years (mostly techno-horror, found footage, and thrillers). My corporate 9-5 is pretty chill, so I have the bandwidth after work and on weekends to make things. I recently directed a 4-minute short that’s in the festival circuit rn, which was an absolute blast, but now I'm looking to build a local network.
What I’m working on:
• An outdoor survival feature script that picked up a couple of 7s on The Black List (currently adapting it into a 10-page short).
• A few "Black Mirror" style and found-footage short scripts that are just collecting dust.
What I'm looking for:
If you’re already part of a local crew, writing group, or indie production team and need a passionate writer/director, I’d love to connect.
Alternatively, if you're a director, DP, actor, editor, or just someone who wants to get out there and make cool stuff, shoot me a DM! If enough people reach out, I'm down to put together a casual meetup over beers/coffee and get a solid South Bay filmmaking group going.
