Are you looking for opportunities to practice your craft? Perhaps you’d like to try working on the other side of the camera? Or do you just LOVE CREATING and want to get involved?

 

Set - Ready - Film is an accessible, inclusive workshop held in Canberra & beyond (just get a team together & let us know!).

If you don;t know where to start, or just want to try out film making / a new aspect of it in a low stakes, fun environment - this is the place.

 

Collaborate and learn through practice: from writing to directing, acting and cinematography. 

We showcase new work, works in progress, people and places from the screen & gaming sector.

 

Meet new people, shoot a short scene in under an hour, then share your takes (if you wish) and learnings.

People at all levels - from beginner to professional - warmly welcome.

Info for writers

See your work come to life

Many projects have 'found their people' and support through our workshops -  often going into production or furthering development.

 

At the very least you'll walk away with a renewed sense of enthusiasm & support from people who appreciate what you're doing. And that's important!

 

Set Ready Film's designed by a writer, to be the best possible experience for writers. You're welcome to ask for feedback, come along and observe, and give a talk or Q &A.

 

Keep it low key or ask us to promote your work far & wide. Come along (even play a team role) or stay at home. You decide.

All you need is a 2 page scene.
