Find your filmmaking community
Whether you’re an actor, writer,
director,
SP is a welcoming
community here to help you get
your
project off the ground.
Making a film is a real achievement, but it requires effort and determination.
Securing funding, getting work, and navigating the numerous obstacles of film production can be difficult.
Many in the industry, including writers, directors, producers, actors, composers, and editors, rely on additional sources of income. Then, there's the time-consuming work of getting films, scripts, crew and casting calls seen.
Despite this, we love making films. The support and encouragement of our fellow filmmakers keeps us going.Shooting People connects you with a UK community making bold and creative work. From all walks of life, right across the industry.
And get your next project off the ground with SP.

Orlando Von Einsiedel
(Oscar-nominated Director - Virunga)"Shooting People is an amazing resource. When I started I felt really alone - connecting with the SP audience was fantastic because there were other people just like me"

Tiggy Bayley
(Actor/Writer/Director)"I love SP and its community. I’ve been a member since I made my first ever short film back in 2018. In a world that’s increasingly individualised, it’s so important to feel a part of our communities. I’ve made so many SP friends who have been with me on my journey, from sound recordists, to composers to colourists. I can see how my work has improved over the years."
Lee Robinson
(Colourist, Founder of One Boy Media)“I’ve been able to work with filmmakers up and down the country, who got in contact with projects they were working on. I’ve been able to colour grade features, shorts, commercials and documentaries. Plus, I’ve had the opportunity to attend screenings all over the UK, including the BFI and BAFTA, and met tons of talented people! THANK YOU to this awesome community for kick starting my career.â€
Lanre Malaolu
