We’ll meet at the National Theatre on Southbank. 2. We’ll split into two groups (or more if needed) 3. Each team will try and beat the other teams to a pub in EC1 in London and edit (maybe) the film. BUT 4. Each team must make a 2 minute 30 seconds film on the way with a beginning middle and end, a solid story arc for the main character, etc. Remember to bring: 1. You and your enthusiasm 2. A camera (iPhones dslrs whatever) 3. Someone willing to do an edit after we arrive back at the on their computers All teams will then meet-up at a pub in EC1 and watch what we have filmed, happy with what they have learnt! The first team that finishes gets a Small Prize! Hopefully then, you will stick around to have a great time chatting about film, meeting new people, and forgetting about work until the late hours. Look forward to seeing you there! Please Check Dates as this isnt a weekly meetup

From London Film Jam

4.8

Please note **entry** only with **Eventbrite Ticket:** https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1-month-film-jam-filming-saturday-31st-october-tickets-2002293972171?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true ## 1 Month Film Jam The **1 Month Film Jam** is an opportunity to meet other filmmakers, collaborate, develop an idea and **make a completed short film in one month**. Film Jam has been bringing filmmakers together for years, with **hundreds of short films made through the community**. It’s a chance to meet like-minded people, learn by doing, build your experience and actually see ideas make it to the screen. Whether you're interested in writing, directing, producing, acting, cinematography, sound, editing, art department or simply want to get involved and gain more experience, all levels are welcome. You don't need to have an idea to pitch. Come along, hear the pitches, choose a project that interests you and be part of making it happen. Whether you want to build your portfolio, gain experience, meet collaborators or simply make more films, the 1 Month Film Jam gives you a **deadline and a team to help turn an idea into something real.** At the end of the month, the completed films will be screened at **Coldharbour Blue Cinema**. ## This Month's Theme: CHILDHOOD MEMORY Interpret the theme however you want — funny, nostalgic, emotional, strange, dark or something completely unexpected. Make it your own. ## How It Works ### Saturday 17th October — Opening Day \| 11am–1pm ### **The Old Red Cow** 71 Long Lane Barbican, London EC1A 9EJ [Google Maps](https://goo.gl/maps/c4BZhgQz2GLsYZpg9?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **11:00–11:15am — Meet & Mingle** Meet everyone and get to know some of the other filmmakers taking part. **11:15am — Pitches** Anyone taking part can pitch an idea based around the theme **Childhood Memory**. Each pitch can be **up to 5 minutes**, followed by **up to 4 minutes of Q&A**. If you'd like to pitch an idea, **please let me know beforehand** so I know how many pitches we'll have on the day. **Voting** Once we've heard the pitches, the group will vote on the ideas they'd most like to see made. The number of films selected will depend on the number of people taking part. **Form Your Teams** We'll then form teams around the selected films, agree roles and start developing the films. There are **no role-specific tickets**. Roles will be agreed within each team once the films have been selected. Then you've got **one month to make your film!** ## Respect the Original Idea The structural integrity of the original idea that was pitched and voted for should be respected. Filmmaking is collaborative, so the team will develop the film together while staying true to the heart of the original idea. ## Weekend of 31st October — Filming Weekend 🎥 We’re currently **in the process of securing a filming location** for this weekend, with full details and timings to be confirmed. Teams can also arrange any additional rehearsals or filming they need during the month around everyone's availability. Then it’s time to get the films edited and ready for the big screen! ## Sunday 15th November — Premiere & Wrap Party 🎬 The finished films will be screened at: **Coldharbour Blue Cinema** 259–260 Hardess Street Loughborough Junction London SE24 0HN Come along, watch the finished films and celebrate what everyone has created over the month. ## Tickets **£35 per person** Your ticket covers your participation in the **full 1 Month Film Jam**, from the opening session through to the final cinema screening. **Your ticket also includes entry to the screening for you + one guest.** Tickets must be purchased through **Eventbrite** to take part. ## Please Note **Maximum film length: 10 minutes.** All experience levels are welcome. Money raised will go towards the costs of running Film Jam, with anything remaining going back into future Film Jam activities. ## What's Next? We’re also developing an **Extended Film Jam** for filmmakers who want more time to develop and make a bigger project. To take part, **you’ll need to have completed a 1 Month Film Jam within the previous 12 months.** More details coming soon. ### Previous 1 Month Film Jams [Watch previous Film Jam films on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMOh05i4Ovph2WQurmfwHYdQX0aQbHrmw&utm_source=chatgpt.com "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMOh05i4Ovph2WQurmfwHYdQX0aQbHrmw&utm_source=chatgpt.com") Complete rules and legal information: [Film Jam – 1 Month Jam](https://filmjam.co.uk/1-month-jam/?utm_source=chatgpt.com "https://filmjam.co.uk/1-month-jam/?utm_source=chatgpt.com") **Don't dream about film.

Impro In The Flesh - Informal Workshop And Jam (London)

Sun, Nov 1, 2:30 PM

From London Improvisation Meetup

4.8

Informal In-Person Impro Jam imprology is 20 years old, and we're celebrating with a four-hour session in London. I live in France now, so this won't come round every week. Or every month. Come and play while you can. 20 participants max. 4 hours . Pay Forward £40 - Regular £35 - Starter £30 Click below for tickets [https://imprology.com/G201473/we.shtml](https://imprology.com/G201473/we.shtml?fbclid=IwcGRvZgFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETA3YVhwaEppMUl0MzNYRUpEc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHobeJz4Y7KNUstyD7cPYvol8qEOcXiYb-GMd9Vgo4UhgqwVsHDshipR4_fPW_aem_IAgE0c97R6oxP7q2elx2Nw) **FAQ** **1\. Do I need any experience to join?** No. This weekend is for anyone curious about being more present, playful, and connected. Impro experience or none at all—you’re welcome. Some participants have been doing it for years, and some are just starting. **2\. What if I’m shy\, nervous\, or feel out of place?** That’s completely fine. This retreat is built to include you exactly as you are. Nothing to prove, nothing to perform. Just start where you are and let things unfold. **3\. Will I have to perform?** Not if you don't want to. It's all Open Space: you only do what feels right for you. Sometimes things will be funny, but we’re not aiming for it. **4\. Will I have to be funny?** Sometimes things will be funny, but we’re not aiming for it. **5\. What actually happens during a class?** We breathe, stretch, move, play, speak, and rest. Some games are full-body and wordless. Others are about listening, timing, and presence. If it's a retreat, there’s food, silence, laughter, and space to do nothing at all. **6\. What should I bring?** Clothes that you can move and rest in. If it's a retreat, shoes or boots for walking, swimsuit, mosquito repellent, allergy medication if needed and anything that helps you feel at ease. We’ll take care of the rest. **7\. What do people leave with?** A quieter mind. Looser body. Sharper attention. A sense of having been part of something real. **8\. How many people will be there?** Usually around 6 to 8 people for a class or a retreat. Enough to play, small enough to stay close. It can be much more in a jam, six to 40 in our experience. This is a journey into the heart of improvisation inviting you to rediscover the joy of play, the beauty of improvisation, and the transformative power of connection. Through original exercises and guided explorations, you'll build trust with your partners, engage fully with your intuitions and tap into your audience's "secret wishes" to improvise compelling scenes and stories. This workshop celebrates the courage to leap into the unknown, conjuring an environment where mistakes become gifts and collaboration sparks magic. Whether you're a performer seeking fresh inspiration or simply someone eager to explore the art of being present, "Now or Never" offers a supportive space to practice active listening, fearless vulnerability, and the art of doing rather than trying. Imprology unique approach to improvisation eliminates pre-planning and second-guessing to empower performers with a “now or never” approach to improvisation. Come as you are, and leave with a renewed sense of freedom, connection, and possibility.
