1 Month Film Jam

The 1 Month Film Jam is an opportunity to meet other filmmakers, collaborate, develop an idea and make a completed short film in one month. Film Jam has been bringing filmmakers together for years, with hundreds of short films made through the community. It’s a chance to meet like-minded people, learn by doing, build your experience and actually see ideas make it to the screen. Whether you're interested in writing, directing, producing, acting, cinematography, sound, editing, art department or simply want to get involved and gain more experience, all levels are welcome. You don't need to have an idea to pitch. Come along, hear the pitches, choose a project that interests you and be part of making it happen. Whether you want to build your portfolio, gain experience, meet collaborators or simply make more films, the 1 Month Film Jam gives you a deadline and a team to help turn an idea into something real. At the end of the month, the completed films will be screened at Coldharbour Blue Cinema.

This Month's Theme: CHILDHOOD MEMORY

Interpret the theme however you want — funny, nostalgic, emotional, strange, dark or something completely unexpected. Make it your own.

How It Works

Saturday 17th October — Opening Day \| 11am–1pm

The Old Red Cow

71 Long Lane Barbican, London EC1A 9EJ [Google Maps](https://goo.gl/maps/c4BZhgQz2GLsYZpg9?utm_source=chatgpt.com) 11:00–11:15am — Meet & Mingle Meet everyone and get to know some of the other filmmakers taking part.

11:15am — Pitches Anyone taking part can pitch an idea based around the theme Childhood Memory.

Each pitch can be up to 5 minutes, followed by up to 4 minutes of Q&A.

If you'd like to pitch an idea, please let me know beforehand so I know how many pitches we'll have on the day.

Voting Once we've heard the pitches, the group will vote on the ideas they'd most like to see made. The number of films selected will depend on the number of people taking part.

Form Your Teams We'll then form teams around the selected films, agree roles and start developing the films. There are no role-specific tickets. Roles will be agreed within each team once the films have been selected. Then you've got one month to make your film!

Respect the Original Idea

The structural integrity of the original idea that was pitched and voted for should be respected. Filmmaking is collaborative, so the team will develop the film together while staying true to the heart of the original idea.

Weekend of 31st October — Filming Weekend 🎥

We’re currently in the process of securing a filming location for this weekend, with full details and timings to be confirmed. Teams can also arrange any additional rehearsals or filming they need during the month around everyone's availability. Then it’s time to get the films edited and ready for the big screen!

Sunday 15th November — Premiere & Wrap Party 🎬

The finished films will be screened at: Coldharbour Blue Cinema 259–260 Hardess Street Loughborough Junction London SE24 0HN Come along, watch the finished films and celebrate what everyone has created over the month.
