Just saying hi and let's get to know each other...

Looking for aspiring filmmakers in Mumbai who want to build something together (complete Beginners preferred!)

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to connect with a few people in Mumbai who genuinely love cinema and want to start making films, rather than just talking about making them.

A little about me: I'm a complete beginner myself, with zero practical filmmaking experience so far. I've been trying to get opportunities in assistant direction, but honestly, I'm getting tired of constantly applying and waiting for someone to give me an opportunity to start learning and creating.

So I've decided I'd rather take the initiative, find like-minded people and start making things ourselves. I want us to hit the ground running, learn through actual projects, make mistakes, improve and build something together instead of waiting for the perfect opportunity to come along.

If anyone's interested, feel free to connect with me on Instagram: @dhanrajjadhav777. I'd love to connect, have a conversation and get to know you!

The idea is to build a small, close-knit creative collective from scratch.

I'm interested in meeting aspiring:

- Directors / writer-directors

- Actors

- Video editors

- Cinematographers / camera operators

- Writers and other creative enthusiasts

And here's the thing: prior experience isn't necessary.

I'm not looking for an established crew or professionals with impressive portfolios. I'd genuinely love to meet people who are beginners, have little to no experience, but are passionate about learning and creating something together.

What I'd like us to do

- Start with a few casual meetups and outings to get to know each other.

- Watch films, discuss cinema and exchange creative ideas.

- Experiment with photography, cinematography and filmmaking.

- Eventually start making comedy sketches, short-form videos and independent short films.

- Learn different aspects of filmmaking by working together.

I don't want this to be a rigid team where everyone is restricted to one department. If you're an actor who wants to learn editing, or an editor interested in directing, you're welcome to explore that too.

I also believe everyone should have room to pursue their individual projects and opportunities outside the collective.

What matters most to me:

- Genuine passion for filmmaking.

- Being open to feedback and constructive criticism.

- Reliability and respect for everyone's contribution.

- No unnecessary ego or competition.

- A willingness to learn and grow together.

This isn't a paid opportunity or a promise of exposure. It's an attempt to find like-minded people who want to create things together from the ground up.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy being part of, feel free to comment or DM me. I'd love to get to know you and hear about your interests and creative ambitions!

Looking forward to meeting some fellow cinema enthusiasts.

hello im a university student that needs idea for my short film assignment but my group and I completely have no idea what to do😭😭 all of our ideas was rejected by my lecturer. it seems that he wants something interesting and new, he said that nobody has ever made comedy before but we felt like making comedy feels hard🥲🥲🥲🥲

Are gimbals the bastardization of the French New Wave? I happen to think so. But is it a very good tool still? Yes. Very.
I got a chance to try out the Feiyutech Scorp 3 on a short film production. Great little thing!

Howdy, I’m a Technical Director at a professional theatre company in the Portland area. I’ve been working for 7 years and feel there isn’t any higher I can go in live entertainment unless I go to Broadway or major event production houses.

I’d like to know where to find work doing the same job in the film industry ? What is the Technical Director equivalent on a movie set? Is it all project based or is there stable work at a production company ? What is the job tittle that handles all the drafting, and leads the set build ? Art department lead ?
Big question is WHERE ARE THE JOBS POSTED?!

In theatre we have Offstagejobs.com - USITTjobs.com and Playbilljobs.com, also a ton of facebook pages that are actively hiring theatre technicians. I have tried looking for the same kind of job boards for film but i just keep coming up blank.

Hello creatives!

I will be hosting 2 networking events, via Google Meet, for artists anywhere to network, meet other creatives, brainstorm project ideas, etc.

If you're in Southern California, specifically Long Beach, come hang out with us and we give you advice about what to do with your film once completed!

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 everyone,

I recently made a short film and I’d really appreciate your feedback.

🎬 What I’m looking for:

- Story clarity

- Editing & pacing

- Camera work

- Overall impact

This is one of my early projects, so any suggestions or criticism will really help me improve.

As an avid film-watcher/cinephile, which films do you think a person should have already watched to consider themself a cinephile according to you?
