Hi Everybody,

I'm interested in starting some low budget, short film making workshops in the
area.

These would include:
preproduction, production and post-production.

Anybody interested?

Paul

And by the look of it this group has run out of steam. What happened?
There are  loads of film folk in Waltham Forest.

Title: North by Northeast

We are looking for a dedicated, enthusiastic, enterprising and ideally
London-based, hands-on producer, who will be willing and able to co-ordinate
fund raising and assist with the organisation of all stages of the production
process.

About the Film:
North by Northeast is an East London-set poignant drama about loss, illegal
immigration, identity and DVDs; a realistic yet highly cinematic character piece
with subtle allusions to North by Northwest.

A grey concrete concourse outside a huge supermarket, many Chinese DVD sellers
sell their wares. We focus on Wang as he goes through the dehumanising daily
cycle of the life of a DVD seller: endless selling, packing up and moving on,
haggling, being abused by passers-by, the constant threat of a police crackdown,
and the unseen hand of his criminal master. Wang is further hindered by being
stuck with a seemingly un-sellable classic DVD.

Wang originally came to London alone to earn enough money to bring his family
here, but the promised work never materialized. Now he's trapped in a
guilt-ridden, semi-criminal hinterland, sending what little he can back home to
his Wife and sick daughter, Bia. Wang has nearly saved enough to start her
treatment – but considering his daily earnings his target still seems nearly
impossible.

Wang comes into contact with a lonely but friendly old man, Mr Bennett. Wang is
cheered by the fact someone has actually noticed him, but communication between
the two is difficult and halting. They both share a common sense of loss: Mr
Bennett, the death of his wife and the loss of his family home due to the
dual-carriageway that cuts the neighbourhood in two; and Wang the loss of his
family, who are thousands of miles away. They strike up a rapport. But his
fledgling friendship with Mr Bennett presents Wang with some difficult choices,
and he struggles to do the right thing.

About the Filmmakers:
Andrew Hutton (Director) is an experienced network television director with
credits for all UK network channels in documentaries and drama-docs, who is now
crossing over into drama.

The script is by Paul Nash, who has written of a number of short films, many of
which have played at UK and international film festivals, and a couple of them
award-winning.

If interested please email Paul Nash on pauldavidnash@...

All the best

Paul Nash

Hi everyone

I'm preparing to shoot a no budget short (7 mins long) & struggling
with lighting. At the moment I'm just rehearsing the scenes & I need
someone with some lighting experience who's willing to help me out on
set on shooting day - Sunday 22. I'm using 500w floodlights x3 minus
barn doors. The filming is in one location - a kitchen.
Unfortunately, I can't afford payment but I can reimburse travel
costs as well as provide grub.

If interested please reply to kchitumbo@...

Many thanks

Kaluba

 "DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS"
 Writer/Director - Araceli Fernández

 "A retrospective look into the electrifying explosion produced when opposite poles meet and their downfall"

An insight into the ‘bad timing’ of Ian and Helens relationship, that is leading them in different directions. Helen is a young woman who acts on impulse. She is the one who runs for the bus. On the contrary, Ian is the kind of person who would wait for the next. The film takes us into the crucial moments of Ian and Helen relationship: first encounter, the test of time that reveal differences, and finally the breakdown. It opens a debate where sometimes we may need to take a different direction to the one we love in search of happiness. Other times, we find ‘the one’ walking opposite us yet we decide not to look. Finally, in another time, another place, could Ian and Helen find their way back to love?

Big hug.
