Next General Meeting: Mon. Feb. 2, 2026
Shoot Like a Pro With What You’ve Got
A low-budget, no-budget filmmaking workshop for total beginners.
This February, we will be running a small weekend crash course where you’ll learn how to make real, cinematic stories using nothing more than your phone and a bit of creativity.
We’ll cover the essentials—storytelling, scripting, acting, lighting, sound, filming, and editing—without drowning you in tech talk or gear lists.
And yes… there will be a mini film challenge.
It’s fun, fast, and you’ll walk away with something you actually created.
More details coming soon. Stay tuned.

Short Film "Shared Dream" is entered in this years film festival.
Excited to announce that Saro's short film "Shared Dream" is finally finished!
A huge thank-you to everyone who helped bring this project to life—your time, talent, and support made this an incredible journey. It was a valuable learning experience, and it has inspired me to keep creating more films and continue growing as a filmmaker.
For now, I’m unable to share any clips or a trailer because the film has been officially submitted to the 7th Siding Film Festival, taking place Sunday, Nov. 16 and Monday, Nov. 17 at 7 PM. You can learn more about the film by visiting this Facebook page.
I encourage you to attend both evenings and enjoy a lineup of amazing local and international short films.
Fun fact: Shared Dream is currently the longest short film in the festival!
