Meet up ONLINE with other filmmakers on Wednesday 27 September at 7pm AEST!

Proudly hosted by Still Searchin’ Productions, Western Sydney Filmmakers Hangout and Made in the West Film Festival - we’re teaming up again to get everyone together, chat about what awesome projects everyone has been working on, announce some good news, meet some new people and maybe even find some new crew members in that true #westie spirit of collaboration.

Great things happen in our community when we connect and talk about 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 Campbelltown to Parrramatta, Bankstown to The Hills, and from Strathfield all the way out west to Penrith and the Blue Mountains - all filmmakers are welcome to join us. If you’re a filmmaker who lives outside of Western Sydney and you want to work with some of us on a project, then you can certainly join us too.

Note: Meeting people at any networking event is 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! This time around we will be joined by some very special spotlight guests including:

Ronnie Riskalla - writer/director of 'Streets of Colour'
Chloe de Brito - award winning director of music video 'Only One' by Ashli
Darcy Carroll - multi-award winning director of student film 'Hello, My Name is Mother Nature'
Matthew C Vella - multi-award winning writer/director/podcaster at Vellamatt Films

Get ready to reconnect with old filmmaker friends, network with new potential collaborators and find out what’s been happening in the #WesternSydneyFilm 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 having a few laughs as we meet a bunch of other filmmaking peeps.

We’re looking forward to catching up!
