We are also planning a Public Showing at the Centenary Club of the FIlm "Hardy's Country" made in the 1970's. Date to be arranged.
We are a small group of filmakers, meeting at the Centenary Club, we make films as individuals and make Drama films together. In these changing times we are open to new things. If a group would like something like a Play or Concert filmed we would be interested. Or if you wanted a few sketches filmed for a portfolio that would be great.
We are an Affiliated club with International Amateur Cinematogaphers the IAC which alows members to put films into our Regional Film Competition for free and gives a certain amout of music copyright cover for the music used in films.
There are many benefits of being in Weymouth Movie Makers.
