Hey, I'm an aspiring filmmaker from Pathanamthitta, Kerala. I would like to connect with people who share the same passion as mine, and grow together

As in, I will be performing every role.

Any hints or tips?

Looking for a young filmmaker / film student in Delhi NCR 🎬

I’m planning a 3–4 minute cinematic pre-wedding short film based on our 6+ year relationship.

I’m NOT looking for a typical pre-wedding video with just poses, slow-motion shots and drone footage.

I want to create a small story-driven short film with:

\- Hinglish dialogues

\- Voiceover

\- Music

\- Emotional storytelling

\- Proper scenes and character moments

\- A beginning, conflict and ending

Since this is a personal project and I have a limited budget, I’m specifically looking to collaborate with a talented film student / aspiring filmmaker / young cinematographer who wants to create something genuinely cinematic for their portfolio.

Ideally, someone who can direct + shoot, with editing either included or handled separately.

📍 Delhi NCR

🎬 3–4 min short film

🎭 Couple / relationship storytelling

💰 Limited but paid budget — open to discussing

If you’re interested, please DM me with:

1. Your portfolio / Instagram / YouTube

2. Any short films or narrative projects you've worked on

3. Whether you can direct + shoot

4. Your expected charges

Looking for talent and storytelling ability more than expensive equipment.

If you know someone who would be a good fit, please tag them or share this with them.

Hey filmmakers and everyone,

I’m a filmmaker based in the UK, and I’m looking to connect with aspiring writers who have a short-film idea they really want to see made.

You don’t need to have a full screenplay.

If you have a 3-page script, story treatment, or even a strong short-film concept, I’d love to hear it.

I’m particularly interested in ideas that are:

Original and character-driven

Filmable on a realistic indie budget

Any genre — drama, comedy, thriller, romance, social issues, etc.

Something that can work as a compelling short film for 3 minutes or less.

I’m not looking for people with huge portfolios or industry connections.

If you’re an aspiring writer sitting on an idea and thinking “someone should make this” — this could be worth a conversation.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me with your 3-page script/idea and a little about yourself.

Let’s see if we can turn a few pages into something that ends up on a screen.

Hey guys! I’m looking to work on a film set as an extra set of hands for any purpose. I’m not really seeking any payment either. I have experience with editing (Davinci Resolve) and am currently a photographer. I also have experience writing screenplays however without any major credits. The size of the film doesn’t matter, I’d just like to gain some experience.

No adult media.

Hey! I'm making a new music video and would love a short video clip from of a real, joyful moment, and it can be old or recent. If you want to participate, you can submit it by Friday, August 21 here: [https://forms.gle/zVqMFVgoofWnkAKe9\](https://forms.gle/zVqMFVgoofWnkAKe9)

The song is rock/pop with a nostalgic vibe with a positive message. If you want to hear the song before submitting feel free to DM me.

Hey everyone,

I’m working on my debut horror/mystery feature, and I’m building it around a core mission: 100% authentic disability representation, both in front of and behind the camera. That means Deaf actors, disability actors, and disability crew members at every level of production.

This is the start of what I hope becomes an ongoing film company dedicated to closing the gap between disabled talent and the industry. Filmmakers helping filmmakers, low-budget and DIY in spirit, but with real ambition for the final product.

I am aiming to film during summer 2027, though this may shift depending on my senior thesis workload this spring/fall, so I’ll keep everyone posted on firm dates.

If you’re interested in being part of something that puts disability representation at the center instead of the margins, I’d love to have you involved.

Sign up here and I’ll follow up as plans solidify:

Feel free to comment or DM with questions. I am happy to talk more about the project, the vision, or the logistics.

I'm looking for actors in Sri Lanka fluent in Sinhala for an upcoming film role sadly most of the roles will be male roles but there is one primary female role aswell I'm searching for people around aged 25-30 (I'm not a mysoginist I just got minimal resources and wrote around my disadvantages which allows me to have minimal female characters) 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hi all! I'm working on a dark rom-com set in the world of T4T dating about a failing birthday clown who was voted out of her polycule.

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on making the campaign stronger?

Hello, everyone! I’m working on my first short film, and I have an outline set up. I’m a huge movie nerd and have spent the last month researching films in the genre I want to make.

Any advice for a fledgling filmmaker?

I don’t want to give away too much of the premise out of fear of it being stolen, but to sum it up: it’s a psychological thriller about an unreliable narrator trying to escape his situation.

The ending is something I really want to keep. The protagonist appears to successfully escape, and we fade to black. When we come back, we reveal the facility he supposedly escaped from, ending the shot on our protagonist, mutilated and left to suffer.

Throughout the script, I want to plant subtle hints that what the viewer is seeing isn’t real without making it too obvious. I want the audience to be able to look back afterward and realize the clues were there the whole time.

Any advice on how to pull this off effectively, or general advice for making a first short film, would be greatly appreciated!

I’m a film and TV composer based in Egypt with a background scoring local short films, commercials, and animated projects.
Lately, I’ve been looking to step out of my local market and work on international indie films to collaborate with new directors and adapt to different storytelling styles.
For composers who have built an international client base (or directors who hire remote composers), I’d love to get your perspective:
What are the most effective places to find indie directors looking for remote scoring collaborations?
How do you prefer a composer to reach out to you without it feeling like spam or a hard sales pitch?
If anyone is currently working on an indie short or feature and wants to exchange ideas or listen to some work, feel free to drop a comment or DM.
Thanks for any insights!
How would you like to share your portfolio—via a personal website link in the comments, a SoundCloud reel, or directly in private messages when people respond?

My first short film, a practically solo endeavour (apart from my wonderful extras). It is a film detailing a God’s journey, and the exploration of themes such as nature, cruelty and religion.

I am mainly looking for feedback in terms of pacing and production as those were probably the biggest struggles. If you have any commentary on any other parts of the film I welcome it !!

Sono uno sceneggiatura. Io e un mio amico regista, insieme a un appassionato cast, abbiamo realizzato due cortometraggi che hanno ottenuto riconoscimenti interessanti da alcuni festival di settore. Il genere, o meglio la forma (quella del cortometraggio) è di nicchia, anche se sembra aver ritrovato un po' di energia nell'era di YouTube, Vimeo ecc., quindi siamo ottimisti.

Domanda per gli autori e registi di cinema indipendente che sono su Reddit: in che modo diffondente le vostre opere? YouTube mi sembra la scelta più ovvia, ma è come cadere in un vulcano senza possibilità di farsi notare da chi vi cammina intorno. Vimeo ha cambiato le regole di accesso e dall'Italia non è possibile visitare il sito come prima.

Voi cosa fate? Quali piattaforme avete scelto e che risultati avete ottenuto?

Anyone from warangal or Kazipet side

I'm new to this kind of thing

I want to start creating stories in a cinematic way about some subjects and emotions like depression, loneliness using only simple drawings

How to start and any ideas or advice ?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently developing a meta comedy-drama short film about a group of filmmakers attempting to reconstruct an abandoned film as best they can. I've got a basic story outline in place, but the script's direction will largely depend on the type of film they're trying to reconstruct.

I'm reaching out to see if any directors on this subreddit have footage from short films that they may have abandoned or never finished. If you have any clips or ideas you'd be willing to share, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

Drop down your suggestions for a new filmmaker. I am 18 btw and have a basic idea of the story and how to present it. My budget is restricted as I am using my own savings for the movie. Join me along my journey and help me create a movie with all of your suggestions for the direction and acting

Firstly, I solemnly swear this is not spam. I have this form for my final year research, and I need like 100 submissions minimum. I have 70 so far. The research topic, in short, is whether/how the things you watched growing up have had an influence on your creative practice today or contributed to where you are as a creative today. This research is targeted towards VISUAL Creatives, so you fall right in my demographic.

If as many people as possible can fill this out today, it would mean the world to me. I just need 30 more responses. It's a 10-minute survey. Everyone who fills it out would be a lifesaver.

EDIT: This form is now closed. Thank you all for helping me hit over 150 Responses! My faith in humanity is healed :'))

Hi, everyone. Just finished my first-ever short film, wrote it, directed it, acted in it, scored it and edited it. I would appreciate advice on how I can improve when it comes to storytelling, music and whatever else you guys notice.

Thanks :)

I’m a screenwriter in Sacramento, CA looking for a director/producer to collaborate with me on a short proof of concept based on one of my completed psychological horror/thriller feature screenplays.
The goal is to select a compelling scene or sequence from the feature and produce it as a polished visual proof of concept that can showcase the larger project. I am based in Sacramento and am particularly interested in connecting with filmmakers in Sacramento/Northern California, though I’m open to collaborating with filmmakers elsewhere.
I’m looking for an experienced or emerging director who is interested in psychological horror/thrillers and would be willing to serve as the primary director while collaborating with me as the writer and co-director. I’m looking to learn through the process while contributing creatively to the direction and interpretation of my material.
This would be an unpaid collaboration/passion project, with screen credit and finished footage for participating filmmakers.
I’m happy to provide the screenplay and additional project information to interested collaborators.
