Upcoming Events

Sup filmmakers!
Here's a wee lowdown of what's happening in the near future:

Tuesday 28th Feb, Boyd Orr building, room 412:
Q&A with director and writer Colin Kennedy (I Love Luci) and producer Brian Coffey, an event hosted by Ian Robertson.

After last time's success, Colin Kennedy kindly agreed once again to share his experience with Cut members. Last year I Love Luci won 'Best Short Film' at the Scottish BAFTAs, but now Colin is about to direct his debut feature film, so there will be even more advice on filmmaking to be given, and more interesting stories to be told.

Wednesday 29th Feb, Boyd Orr building, room 222:

We are going to host a practical workshop on cinematography. Our mentor will be Desmond O'Hare, who has had a long career in the BBC! There are only 12 places for this workshop, so if you want to take part you need to send an email to cutfilmmaking@gmail.com from this Friday onwards (starting at 00:00). The first 12 filmmakers will get in, and the list of participants will be released on facebook too.

If you have videocamera or a DSLR with video recording mode, please bring it in! Tripods are also welcomed.
