About this event

After a brief summer break, our regular Members’ Scratch Night returns on Wednesday 30 September to help more of the creatives in our membership community develop their WIP projects. This is an opportunity to test out material – be it unfinished films, scripts, pieces of writing, or other art forms – in front of a supportive audience, who will be able to provide you with their thoughts and feedback in a casual setting. The event will take place in the Atrium Bar, and will be hosted by fellow cinema member Roberto Prestia. We’ll have 6x 15-minute slots available for members to present their material (with microphones and a projector available to use, if needed), and additional tickets for audience members who are interested in discovering new work by fellow members, and in contributing to their creative process. Tickets for the event are £5, and include a token for a complimentary glass of house wine, a beer, or a soft drink at the bar. They are restricted to 2 per member, so you’re welcome to bring along a curious +1. Please ensure you select the right option when booking a ticket: Presenter ticket: If you’re looking to present a project, please purchase a Presenter ticket. There are just 6 of these available, so if the option doesn’t appear, they are unfortunately sold out. However, please send an email to [email protected] if you’re interested in presenting, so we can contact you if a spot does become available. Audience ticket: If you’d just like to watch the presentations and provide feedback, please purchase an Audience ticket. The schedule on the night will be as follows: 19:00-20:00 Introduction and first three presentations of 15 minutes each 20:00-20:30 Break for drinks, providing feedback, and mingling 20:30-21:15 Additional three presentations of 15 minutes each 21:15-22:00 Drinks, providing feedback, and further mingling About Roberto: Roberto Prestia is a London based independent filmmaker. In his quest for DIY filmmaking and creative freedom, he has made constant use of scratch nights and workshops with fellow creatives, as a tool for developing his early shorts as well as his second feature film, which is currently in the making.
