ShortCUTS in association with Somewhereto_ launches on 19th June 6-9pm at the Hannah Maclure Centre. This free event night is open to all creatives interested in film making.
ShortCuts is designed to pair groups of less experienced creatives with professionals in the field of film making and facilitate the young perople’s ideas. However, directors are the only individuals within groups who MUST be 16-25. Somewhereto_ has the clout for access to new and exciting places for you to access and film!
The regional co-ordinators include Claire Dufour, Lauren McCorkindale, Dylan Drummond, Stephen Grant. Below is some more info about what ShortCUTS is all about… But come along on the 19th, to find out much more!

One mentor = tutor, person responsible for complete realisation of the short-film.
One director = young person (16/25-year-old) enthusiastic and committed to produce a short-film

3 stages to make a film :
pre-production = preparation of the workshop between the mentor and the director
production = workshop (one day, one place, one film)
post-production = by the mentor (and ideally with the director)
