Chester Filmmakers
A FREE monthly community group for local filmmakers
Event details
Are you a filmmaker or aspiring filmmaker? Chester Filmmakers is your space to meet, share your work and connect with other creatives.
Join our free monthly community group at Storyhouse Cinema for a showcase of short films by local filmmakers, followed by a relaxed post-screening meet-up in The Kitchen.
Want to see your work on the big screen?
We’re looking for filmmakers based in the North West of England and North Wales to showcase at our events. We welcome submissions from people of all abilities, backgrounds and experience levels.
See below for more information on how to submit your short film.
Free (sign up)
This event is for persons 18 and over only.
Information for filmmakers:
Films must be 20 minutes or less to allow us enough time to showcase other filmmakers’ submissions.
Your submission doesn’t need to be a final work. We welcome works-in-progress, rough cuts, and excerpts from longer projects. If you have something to show, we’d love to see it!
To support and develop our community group, filmmakers must be available to attend their screening in person. This allows you to introduce your work and participate in post-screening conversations.
Chester Filmmakers is intended for local filmmakers. Submissions are open to creators based in Chester, Cheshire, and the surrounding areas (including Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington, and North Wales), provided you are able to attend in person. Please include your city or region in your submission notes or cover letter.
All submitting filmmakers must be 18 years of age or older.
