King's College London
Film Maker's Society


KCL Filmmakers’ is a relatively new society that is looking for creative, passionate and committed people who have an avid interest in all aspects of filmmaking, including acting, directing, producing, scoring, make-up, set design and much more.

Anyone is welcome to join KCL Filmmakers’ as our main ambition is to encourage and develop student filmmaking and artistic experimentation at King’s.

We aim to write, shoot, edit and screen our own short films that will be the combined effort of a dedicated and cohesive team unit.

As well as producing original material, KCL Filmmakers’ will be inviting its members (and any of their friends) to attend regular screenings of an assortment of influential and interesting films throughout the year. And we would greatly welcome any suggestions of particular artists and film movements that you would like to see.

Please email Cassandra Moss if you are interested in attending a meeting.

details

This film was shot at the start of the academic year of 2004 with a crew which had never met before and had little to no filmmaking experience. Spending virtually no money on a budget and filming on locations around KCL and Surrey Quays, we've created an abstract work utilising an original score, computer graphics and actors from within our own society.

Sorry that the website has been down the last couple of weeks. I'll try my best to keep this up but I won't be able to update regularly and reliably for the time being. Anyway here is a message from Cassie. For future reference, it may be worthwhile getting into contact with me or Cassie just to make sure when and where the meetings are (my number is 07714524635). If you didn't get the following email, please add yourself to the mailing list by mailing Cassie at kclfilmmakerssoc@hotmail.com.
 
Hi Guys,

This is just to let you know that we'll be meeting at Tutu's same time and place as usual this Wednesday. We'll be having a brainstorming session for forthcoming film ideas and listening to those of you who already have something they want to develop.
 
For those of you who didn't manage to make it to the filmming last week, it went really well and we already have some good footage, but we'll have to do more filmming there next week.
 
We've been editing Mind the Gap and puting the final touches to it - almost done! Hopefully we'll set up another chance to see it before it goes on release.
 
See you soon,
 
Cassie.



Thursday
, October 06, 2005 - 2nd meeting

Thanks to everyone who attended the meeting on Wednesday. We have decided to produce John's next film which is still untitled. You can download the script and email John if you're interested in working on this short.

Becky was voted in as our new vice president.

The Mind The Gap colour correction is going very well at the moment, and a score is being written for it by Nabil.


Saturday, September 24, 2005 - Fresher's Fair
A hello to everyone that we met at Fresher's Fair on Guy's Campus and the Strand! Our first meeting will be at Tutu's shot bar this Wednesday 28th. It's located in the Macadam building (above the Student's Union on the Strand). Once you are in the club, please walk upstairs to the bar. We will be showing the final cut of Insect Legs, the trailer for Mind The Gap, and a portion of Anything Goes (of what I've managed to scrape together).

If you have any problems please email me at andytizer@hotmail.com or call at 07714 524 635.



Tuesday, July 26, 2005 - Summer news update
I've reworked portions of this website.

Ab informs me that he is making good progress editing the footage from Mind The Gap. I'm hoping that a trailer will be available soon.

I will be doing some travelling around Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan this summer. I will be back for the start of term, and I will be taking my laptop with me to do some editing for Anything Goes. Please contact me if you want to post news on this website. It would be useful to contact me to arrange an initial meeting for next year in preparation for Fresher's Fair.
 

Thursday, March 03, 2005
From now on I will be publishing all crew news  related to Mind The Gap on a separate page. All filmmaking society members please email me at andytizer@hotmail.com if you don't already have access. Please bookmark and check the website before coming to any of our meetings or shoots.

Time: 5.30 pm (Please arrive before 6pm)
Location:  Waterloo Campus (KCL) The Franklin-Wilkins Building, Stamford St, London, SE1 9NH
Floor 1 Room 70

 

Wednesday, February 23, 2005
We will be holding further auditions next week at the same time, same place. The
audition sides are available here to download. We found that in the last audition, actors didn't quite understand the dynamic in the scene. Please understand that Marcello is not Sophie's brother but his girlfriend and that Marcello and Claudia are not married. Marcello and Claudia are pretending to be married in order to get free drinks from the bartender who believes Marcello is going to fight in Iraq.

Andy.

Hey Guys,
 
We're having auditions for the lead roles in Mind the Gap tomorrow from 5.30 at the Waterloo campus. I haven't mentioned it previously because the majority has ever expressed a huge desire to act. However, that was probably a bit remiss of me - sorry.
 
I'll give you more details in the meeting, and if you do want to audition then please do. If you don't want to audition yourself, but want to see what's going on, then it would mean a great deal if you could help out with the organisation. I realise this is quite short notice, but it's not going to be a huge task - just getting people into groups and telling them where to go.
 
Sorry again for my unintentional neglect,
 
Cassie.

Hi guys,

As I mentioned at the meeting we have a big new production in line for this semester, which is HUGE, much, much bigger than 'Insect Legs' and something that has real commercial potential. It's called 'Mind the Gap' and is to be directed by a guy who's at Kings studying Law, but who has already graduated from film school in L.A. and really knows what he's doing In fact he's currently taking a year off to promote his last film and enter it into film festivals.. Basically, it's going to be a very professional film because he has extremely good equipment.

I'm going to be writing the script and producing. However, the job of producer is far too big for one person to do alone, because as I said we're doing this professionally. Thus, I need a co-producer who is going to be a 100% committed to the project, as it will take up a lot of time, but will be totally worth it. It turns out that it's going to be approx 80mins in length, which is way longer than I thought, but having spoken to Ab (the director) I think it can be done. The key to it working, though, is organisation, which is where the producers come in. Ab estimates that he can shoot it in 5 weeks and then he's going to L.A to edit it. Most of the shooting will probably take place on weekends because that's when everybody will be free. We're intending to get sponsorship from Orange because of product placement in the film: in return for their product in our film we want them to pay for all the promotion of the movie. The plan then is to release and sell it at freshers' fair. We'll definitely be taking it to the festivals.

Most of the pre-production will involve securing locations and co-ordinating the sponsorship. Please let me know asap if you want to work on this as we are starting it now. It will take up a lot of your time for a while but it will be very, very fruitful. This is a real learning experience that is going to be excellent to have on your c.v.

However, I still want people to have the opportunity to work on their own projects too, but if so then you will be 100% responsible for organising it ie. casting, locations etc.

Hopefully, Ab will be at the meeting next week and we can talk through it more.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Cassie.
 

Wednesday, January 30, 2005
As of Spring Term 2005, we will be meeting in the Reach  Bar above Tutu's at 1pm every Wednesday. Please contact Cassie for details.
