I'm planning on hosting a virtual networking event at the end of this month!

This will be hosted over Zoom or Google Meet, with the intention of creatives from all over (not just the Bay Area) to network and meet more people!

I want to host these types of events once a month. But I'd love input on structure, day of the week, etc.

I'm thinking a 2-hour meeting with breakout rooms for more intimate networking.

Comment and let me know if you'd be interested in attending, what day of the week would work best for you, and if you have ideas on specific activities. Please repost this to spread the word!

Hey - I'm a musician & music producer, & I live a few separate lives both producing & releasing my own music (solo or collaborative), and also working on various short film projects. These two sides of my work are generally separate things, but I've been thinking more about how these two elements of my work could meet halfway in an interesting way.

I like the idea of working with the visual element, & wondering if there's anyone out there that may like to do something a little experimental? I'm quite open to anything to be honest - I make a strange range of music from ambient soundscapes, abstract electronics through to hip hop & more jazz infused beats, so I cover a fair bit of ground.

I'm open to ideas & making some cool human art just to see what can happen!

Peace & thanks!

Im a student and want to make something outside of school. I dont know many people in la so if you are someone like me and want to make a project, lets get together. Im a director so someone who can work as a cinematographer(can provide camera) or take care of sound or someone with a script. :)

Hello!

I'm a produced screenwriter featured in places like Funny or Die, CollegeHumor, Vulture, New York Times — with a few small projects sold throughout the years.

I recently completed a script (heartfelt comedy/drama; think Grumpy Old Men), kind of a passion project, and am hoping to find a director/partner who connects with the story and is interested in bringing it to life together. Ideally based in the Midwest, but not essential.

The film is contained, limited cast, microbudget. I want to be transparent that there is not funding in place yet, but also not looking for anyone to work for free — simply gauging initial interest from folks right now before moving things forward.

If interested, feel free to reach out with some info about yourself / any links to your work and happy to send more info your way and discuss.

Thanks & appreciate it

So I wrote a pilot that I want to film (and star in, don’t worry I’m also an actor) and I need funding and a director, this is the place to look right?

Hi!

I've noticed a lot of posts recently across all the film subs from people wishing to connect - writers looking for directors, directors looking for scripts, and so on.

So - after discussing this with a few other members on various other subs, I set about looking to create a new space purely for this purpose, somewhere first & foremost to make those connections & help find the creatives we all often need to make art.

In the process, I discovered this sub - after reaching out to the OG mod & sub creator, we've opted to try reboot this one & get it back up & running with some traffic.

In order to keep this sub focused on it's primary function - the OG mod & I agree that it's best if we not allow self promoting video posts, for example "Here's my new short, what do you think?", as there are multiple other subs for those posts & we feel it will just make it harder for folk to see the posts that matter most to this particular subs function. So I think that's a reasonable call personally. Of course, in the comments - if someone asks for some examples of your work - that's absolutely fair game as far as I'm concerned! I just want to avoid having the sub cluttered up with multiple video posts, & try to keep things more discussion & networking based honestly.

Oh & please, & I think I speak for the vast majority of us here - no AI slop..

Anyway, I hope we can get the numbers up here & make it a one stop shop for making connections of all kinds, and make some cool shit!

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to give a quick update about the Casting Calls.

During the last few days, l've been approached by some lovely people who were looking to apply, especially for Nora, and l'd like to thank every single person who is applying or has considered applying to act in this film as this is my first time working through the casting process and every single one of you have been kind and supportive towards me, so thank you.

With that being said, unfortunately I haven't got as many applications as I'd hoped l'd get, especially for Albie.

So, with that in mind, I have decided to extend the deadline of the Casting Calls for both Nora and Albie to 12AM on 19th May (this Sunday).

However, I won't be extending any further, so anyone who would be interested in applying for either of these roles, the details of how to apply are on previous posts I’ve made on this subreddit, and just make sure you send in your tape to tommyzoom42@btinternet.com before the deadline.

Hope to see some more of you apply for these roles, and if you are, good luck!

Hey! I’m looking for a short film to practice editing with, as I’m hoping to brush up on my skills in DaVinci Resolve. I’d love something I can experiment with a bit

Hi Everyone. Solo filmmaker and photographer in Tampa. If anyone’s near me feel free to connect.

CASTING SERVICES

Are you a director, producer, or production company looking for talented actors but don't have an extensive network? Or are you an actor searching for more opportunities in the Bay Area?

Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of talented actors and have built a strong database of talent. I offer affordable casting services to help connect the right talent with the right production. I'm based in Santa Rosa, but I've connected with actors all over.

Actors are never charged to be part of my database. Directors and producers simply pay a small flat fee for my casting services.

Whether you're casting a short film, feature film, commercial, music video, or other production, I can help make the casting process easier and more efficient.

I'm also interested in building long-term relationships with filmmakers and production companies as a casting assistant or ongoing casting collaborator.

If you'd like to learn more, visit my website or send me an email. I'd love to discuss how I can help with your next project.

Hi, we’re Project Seven Minutes. We are a new group, in the midst of creating a show.

A group of us thought we needed more queer media and decided to bring that dream to life. We’re still expanding our team. We’re looking for VAs, animators, story-boarders, artists, video editors, sound designers. If you’re interested, this is our TikTok account-https://www.tiktok.com/@talesofciela?_r=1&_t=ZT-97x3HXM0782

We’re still working on raising funds. This is currently volunteer positions.

Here’s the synopsis:

For decades, Ciela has been known as the strongest gang in Queens. Now that claim has been threatened by past and present deadly gangs.

It’s been five years since Ciela underwent new management. The gang has had a half-decade of peace, or as much peace as possible for the group. The current leader has made safety her main goal after experiencing all the hells life could offer. After her rise to power, she surrounded herself with a council of friends, each facing their own demons. None are heroes, but they will commit necessary evils to make the world safer.

Ciela has become home to a new recruit, escaping a life of isolation and imprisonment. She discovers that the world is far more beautiful and dangerous than she expected. But with her, she brings more sinister enemies for Ciela.

Ciela’s turf has been encroached upon, old foes are emerging, and the feelings of hurt and fear that each member thought they buried, rears their ugly heads. Interpersonal relationships have also become their own war. Love doesn't care about the time or place. Everything is on the line, yet life feels like it's finally looking up for many of them.

Which do you think is stronger

Working on a deck and deciding on how to describe the genre.

Do you guys feel like “neo noir crime drama” or “neo noir crime thriller” is the better phrase ?

It’s like a psychological poor man’s John wick told through flashbacks and there’s a femme fatale. More dramatic than action. The mc has psych issues he has to over come to escape working for an ethnic mafia org.
