✊ For the Rebels and the Resourceful

From “No Budget” to No Excuses

You’ve got an idea.
A mate with a camera.
A flat you can film in.

But no budget.

That’s not a barrier.
That’s a creative advantage.

Next month, we’re running the No Budget Filmmakers Workshop at the Electric Palace in Hastings.

Four Tuesday evenings.
One mission:
Give you the tools to make a film on your terms.

What You’ll Learn:

🎬 Script — Write what you can shoot
📋 Pre-Production — Plan smart, move fast
🎥 Production — Shoot with what you’ve got
🎛 Post — Edit with style (not money)

No fluff. No gatekeepers. No excuses.

Just you, your ideas, and a toolkit that works in the real world.

🗓 Starts: Tuesday 20th May
📍 Hastings, Electric Palace

💸 £99

You don’t need more stuff.
You need momentum.

Let’s go.
