Amateur Filmmaking Society

There are many professional film schools in the UK that offer workshops to people who can afford them. But there are so many in fact that can’t pay hundreds of pounds on themselves. This leaves a very big gap between what you want to do and what you can afford to do. This society is for people who are interested in both talking about films as well as making their own. 

What I can offer you is a small scale cinema set-up inside of a hired hall rented out by the film society. The film society will operate as a closed members club with visitors welcome on special events. The cinema screenings will be no longer than 3 hours and food& soft drinks will be made available at additional charge. All profit made from membership fees and screenings will go towards to cost of running the film society. Any surplus profit will be put towards digital camcorder equipment and editing software that all the film society members will be able to use.

The amateur filmmaking society will be split up in to two teams (red alpha) and (blue beta). They will be able to use professional camcorder equipment whilst working inside of film society hall. They will practice acting to the camera (in front of a backdrops) and have the use of editing software (provided on laptops).

Food and drink from outside will not be allowed inside of the venue. The reason for this is that you can help the film society by buying soft drinks and pop corn. The money raised will go towards professional digital camcorder equipment.  Food and drink prices will be advertise both in the venue and on the website. To see what you are actually buying will we show the most affordable professional camcorder and the money target we need to reach. (Again food &drink prices will be kept as low as possible to attract attention and keep interest) 

The venue

The venue will be at located in Hounslow Town Centre so that everyone attending the screening can access public transport links e.g. buses and trains.  Hounslow Film society screenings will be held in the evenings. To start with Hounslow Film society will meet once a month depending on venue.
