Exeter Film Collective

Exeter Film Collective is back at Exeter Phoenix on Wednesday 4 November, from 7pm to 9pm. It's a casual networking night for anyone with an interest in film, and it's open to actors, directors, writers, cinematographers and post-production folk. There's no sign-up needed, so you can just turn up.

The night runs on the first Wednesday of each month in the Workshop space at Exeter Phoenix, and the next one follows on Wednesday 2 December. It's a regular fixture rather than a one-off, which makes it easier to drop into when you've got a gap in your schedule. If you're more of a writer, the centre also hosts a peer-led writers support group for those looking to develop their written work, so there's a second place to land if you're working on a script.

Luke Hagan, the venue's Digital Programme Coordinator, has spoken about the value of fostering these kinds of passionate filmmaking communities. He describes film as a collaborative art form and says the projects that emerge from these networks show just how important they are. That's the whole point of the night: bringing together people from different parts of the process who might not otherwise cross paths.

It's free to attend, with no ticketing charge. The next two dates are Wednesday 4 November and Wednesday 2 December, both from 7pm to 9pm in The Workshop at Exeter Phoenix.
