#WesternSydneyFilm Online Networking Event April 2026

Meet up ONLINE with other filmmakers on Wednesday 22 April from 7pm - 8:30pm AEST! Reserve your free ticket today by clicking the 'Register' button. 

Proudly hosted by Western Sydney Filmmakers Hangout and Made in the West Creative - we’re looking forward to getting everyone together to chat about the awesome projects you have been working on, meet some new people and maybe even find some new crew members in that true #westie spirit of collaboration. 

Spotlight guests include: Matthew C. Vella (producer / networking host), Michelle Kaldy (award-winning documentary filmmaker), Laneikka Denne (award-winning writer / director / actor) & Bina Bhattacharya (award-winning writer / director).

Great things happen in our community when we connect to discuss our ideas and filmmaking practice. It’s so inspiring to spend time with other creatives and hear how they are approaching the challenges of creative life and kicking goals in local productions! From Canterbury to Penrith, Blacktown to Camden, and from Strathfield all the way out west to the Blue Mountains - all filmmakers are welcome to join us. And, if you’re a filmmaker who lives outside of Western Sydney and you want to work with some of us on a project, then feel free to come and meet the community. 

Meeting people at networking events can be daunting, but online networking with #WesternSydneyFilm is totally fun! The event is a unique blend of three elements: a live TV show with guest interviews, a Zoom party with random breakout rooms for smaller group chats, and a choose-your-own-adventure-style interactive game, complete with alternate endings! 

You can access the event via your browser on desktop, tablet or mobile phone - anything goes!

Get ready to reconnect with old filmmaker friends, network with new potential collaborators, and find out what’s been happening in the local film scene. There are so many great people for you to meet! Join the #WesternSydneyFilm community for a night of talking shop and sharing advice, and hopefully also a few laughs as we meet up with our filmmaking fam online. 

We’re looking forward to catching up!
