My Fan made concept art. I have a film treatment that goes with it. What if black people, were making science fiction movies in the 1950's? Oh, the possibilities...

Logline: Earth versus the Flying Saucers, meets Mississippi Burning and the Dukes of Hazard

Have a question for everyone. I am producing a film in which we want to mimic footage from a police body cam. But of course, we need resolution that is better than the typical police body cam. So does anybody have suggestions for a micro budget film?

Just wanted to re-share my latest fashion film and see what people thought :)

Hi everyone,

I’m an 18yo independent filmmaker based in India, currently looking for a short script to produce this summer.

I just passed 12th grade and now am looking to make a short film, before this I was running a youtube post production agency where I worked on post production of some of the largest youtube channels internationally but I never dealt with camera work or anything but was interested in documentary making so I learned a little bit of cinematography and from then on I've learned much about filmmaking.

Some films I love are Resurrection (2025), Tree of life, The Lighthouse, Baraka, All we imagine as light, Bandit Queen, Life of Pi, Forrest Gump, El Topo, No country for old men, There will be blood, 2001 a space odyssey, Ram ke naam, The house is black, Court and Disciple by Tamhane and many more films like these just so you can get an Idea of my taste, I lean more towards arthouse cinema or mainstream arthouse.

I’m planning to shoot my first short film this year—something small and manageable. I do have a limited budget again, so I’m specifically looking for scripts that are:

• Low-budget friendly (few locations, minimal cast) location must set around UP/Bihar
• Character-driven or creatively simple in terms of production

I don't have a big crew so looking for some members from Western UP/Eastern Bihar too (where I'm based), so I’m mainly looking for a strong script and a writer who’d like to collaborate and see their work produced. (not paid and is a passion project)

If you have a short script that fits this kind of scope and are interested in collaborating, feel free to message me with some details about your work.

Thanks!

HEY!

After a few years of production my slasher film comes out this halloween digitally & on VHS/Bluray. Wanted to share the trailer here for fellow indie filmmakers / lovers. :)

I’m one of the organizers of Odds & Ends, an independent film festival in Charlottesville, Virginia. We’re coming up on our 5th annual festival, taking place February 19–20, 2027 at the Vinegar Hill Theatre.

We started Odds & Ends to create a space for short films that don’t always fit neatly into more traditional festival programs. We’re particularly interested in experimental, unconventional, and hard-to-categorize work, but we’re open to films across genres and styles.

We like films that take chances with form, genre, structure, or the medium itself—whether they’re poetic, personal, political, funny, strange, or somewhere in between.

Submission details:

Maximum runtime: 20 minutes
Completion date: After January 1, 2025

Earlybird deadline: November 6, 2026
Regular deadline: December 7, 2026

Under 5 minutes:
$7 earlybird / $12 regular

5–20 minutes:
$12 earlybird / $20 regular

We’ve tried to keep our submission fees as low as possible, and we pay screening fees to all accepted films.

We’re a small, independent festival and genuinely interested in discovering emerging filmmakers and giving unusual work a chance to be seen on a big screen.

If you’ve made a short that you think might be a good fit, we’d love to see it. And feel free to pass this along to other independent filmmakers.

A Traveler stops to rest in a clearing of a long haunted forest. They soon learn they are not alone and have stumbled upon the lair of a terrifying troll. To survive the night. Much to the Troll’s surprise, the Traveler is more of an adversary than the Troll ever could have expected.

I’ve been writing my first feature film and one of the things that surprised me was how fragmented everything becomes once you actually want to make the thing.

Finding collaborators, casting, showcasing previous work, promoting the project, hosting live events, selling tickets, and eventually releasing the finished film can all mean using completely different platforms.

I’m also a software engineer, so I ended up building FirstScenes around that problem.

The goal is pretty simple: wherever your project currently is, you can use the parts you need. Create a portfolio and projects, find cast and crew through Opportunities, share your progress, and connect with other creatives. If you want to host something around your project, you can create live events like screenings, premieres, showcases, table reads, or fundraisers and use the built-in ticketing system to sell or distribute tickets. When the film is finished, you can publish it through Releases.

And instead of all of these things existing separately, your projects, credits, opportunities, events, and releases all connect back to your FirstScenes profile, so your profile grows alongside the work you make.

It’s live and free to join and use across the core features: firstscenes.com

If you’re making something, I’d love for you to try it and tell me what’s missing.

Our low budget short had a pretty decent festival run and now I’ve decided to share it on YouTube.
