Making Movies

Making movies is a big scene in London. On a larger scale the final production can sometimes end up being a nominated film, receive an award or its back to the ‘story board’.  On the smaller scale movie awards like a BAFTA or OSCAR are out of reach.  The desire to write, produce and direct does not goo away.

The numbers are growing involving all ages as well as bringing communities together from various backgrounds.  In Fulham, films have been produced, directed and performed by people of the Silver generation.  There is no shortage of actors eager to hit the bright lights and big screen
