Testimonials

The South Yorkshire Filmmakers Network has been a great help to me for the past two years. Through their events and masterclasses, I have met with professional filmmakers and listened to them share their knowledge and experience in areas including producing, writing, cinematography, casting and directing. I have made contacts with other up-and-coming filmmakers and have already collaborated on projects with some. The events are well - organised and fun to attend. I highly recommend this group to anyone with an interest in filmmaking  

Matthew Beet

Marco Van Belle’s Directions Masterclass organised by the SYFN was absolutely brilliant. It was an eye opening, informative and indispensable part of a great series of events, all helped by its small informal and intimate structure.

Richard Heap, Director - Slackjaw Films

www.slackjaw.co.uk

I joined SYFN because I wanted to meet some enthusiastic and friendly filmmakers, and pick up some experience in scoring. It was the perfect group for me, with people of all experiences, and I’ve gone on to work with many of them.

Neil Dube - Composer

Great event, brilliant networking and really fun! Got a lot out of the talks on the launch event. Learnt new skills (risk assessment, professional location scouting, etc) on the shoot. Had a lot of fun at the award ceremony!

Chris - Grit Street

The best Industry Day I have ever been to

Bernadette Dales - The Molly Anna Band

What an amazing launch event it was too, really great!  The amount of work you must put into it is phenomenal, but it really shows

Richard Knight - Head of Production at Screen Yorkshire

What an ecstatic, eclectic and vibrant mash of talent, confidence and downright excitement! Part of my love of what I do is being able to surround myself with awesome people who love what they do. The crews and bands on display for 2Weeks2 Make It this year make me humbled and proud to be part of such an AWESOME project, AWESOME community, and SUPER-AWESOME Filmmakers Network!
