Hi everyone! I’m Vish, and I’d love to run for Workshop Producer this year.
As the current Drama Producer for the Film Society, I’ve seen first-hand how valuable workshops are in helping members develop skills and confidence as filmmakers.
Alongside my work with the society, I’ve been involved in filmmaking across a range of contexts – from producing student films (including winning the Film Society 48-Hour Film Challenge) to creating video content for UCL’s YouTube channel and Students’ Union social media. I’m also part of the Kingston International Film Festival (KIFF) where I’ve connected with filmmakers and industry professionals.
If elected, I’d organise a mix of industry talks and practical workshops. Through connections from film festivals and other projects, I’d also hope to bring in guest speakers and work hard to secure them – for example someone like Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Four Weddings and a Funeral), who I met through KIFF.
I’d also focus on practical, beginner-friendly workshops where members can develop core skills such as camera operation, editing workflows, directing actors, and low-budget filmmaking techniques, ideally linking these to upcoming Film Society productions so members can apply what they learn on real projects.
Film Society has a creative and supportive community, and I’d love to help create workshops that inspire people and develop practical filmmaking skills.
Thank you for reading — I’d really appreciate your vote :)
