Filmmaking Workshop | London

UK film production company welcomes you to a focused but friendly one-day workshop and networking session where actors and film crew work on camera, gain set experience, and leave with usable showreel and portfolio material.

This isn’t a classroom. It’s a working set with a director, crew, and peers who are serious about making things happen and getting strong material for their showreels and portfolios.

Across the day you’ll perform or crew in two short scenes (split between our A-Unit and B-Unit), capture BTS photos and videos for your socials and connect with plenty of like-minded creatives as well.

You can stay for the entire day into the evening or leave when you've done your scene!

After we wrap filming for the day there is an informal networking drinks reception in the evening where you can socialise, network, and talk about the day's work.

Whether you’re just beginning or levelling up your creative portfolio, you’ll find collaboration, shared learning, and plenty of fun.

Expect networking but also real on-set rhythm with quiet windows when we’re filming, otherwise it's a lively, collaborative atmosphere for meeting people and sharing insights.
