Try our Edinburgh Short Filmmakers Group – a hands-on experience where you'll get stuck into real filmmaking from concept to completion.
This week: Screenwriting. This week we focus on turning our beats and character studies into scripts. After welcomes and a brief presentation we'll split into groups and draft our scripts. Towards the end of the evening we'll have a table read and see how they flow! We'll also begin the process of casting our films by creating casting calls.
In subsequent weeks we'll carry our ideas forward into the stages of pre-production, production and post-production, through to completion. Unlike many film groups that focus on theory and discussion or get bogged down trying to get a project off the ground, we’re all about doing. This is your chance to learn and develop practical filmmaking skills through real collaboration. Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your abilities.
We are able to operate thanks to our members, who pay a monthly fee of £15 (after a one off £20 joining fee) - however there is no charge for coming along to see what we're all about. First three weeks of attendance are free.
🎥 Learn how to use cameras and gear
📝 Get involved in storyboarding and shot planning
🎬 Take part in a live short film production, from idea to final cut
You won’t just watch others – you’ll be actively creating.
Perfect for aspiring directors, writers, camera ops, sound recordists, or anyone curious about the filmmaking process. This free trial is your opportunity to see what we do, meet like-minded creatives, and build skills that actually stick.
