Next year I want to give Filmsoc members more opportunities; to make films independently, to learn and to have fun. To do this, I aim to: 

1) Increase the budget cap and the total sum allocated for affiliate bids (money that members can apply for to make independent films), allowing many more of us to learn and independently experiment - a crucial experience for any filmmaker. 

2) Run weekly workshops for all of our equipment. We have a lot of kit, but not many people know how to use it all. Wealth and connections can at times mean that members with more privileged prior experience get chosen for term films and docs over others. I want to set this straight with education, and level the playing field.

3) Increase new social events (e.g. nights at UCL bars after screenings or workshops) to allow for more frequent, relaxed interactions for chatting and networking.

My greater aim is to remove the potential fear of some members who hesitate to get involved because they do not think they know enough about film. The more we create a constructive, relaxed atmosphere, the more we will grow as a society. As the Treasurer for 21/22, and, with my substantial experience with technology and cameras, as well as experience directing and producing an award-winning short, I believe I am the person that can best assist you as President. I am driven, dedicated, and incredibly keen to work with you to make Filmsoc as beneficial and fair as it can be. Click here for more
