And...ACTION!!!

Welcome to the home of Stickleback Films, a new type of online resource and social hub for UK film-makers and fans alike.  If you love independent film, this is the place for you!

We're here to nurture grass roots film-making in any way we can.  We arrange a wide variety of courses and events aimed at developing skills and putting talented people in touch with each other - after all, making films is a collaborative effort!  Check out Forthcoming Attractions to find out what's on our slate in the months ahead.  We'll also keep you up to date with the latest news about funding opportunities and third party events through the Dirtsheet.

But this site is not just about what we can offer you - it's about what you can offer each other!  Get involved with our Community where you can set up discussion forums, find potential friends or future collaborators, advertise for cast members or even post links to your own social networking site to promote your work.  For film-makers, this can be an opportunity to get unvarnished feedback on your work from real fans.  For fans - well, you get to watch all the best cutting-edge work the UK industry has to offer!

"Making it" in the film industry is tough and requires no little luck.  We hope that by bringing like-minded people together and offering help along the way we can increase your chances of getting your films out there.  What have you got to lose?  After all... 

"People watch luck go by them, and they're so blind they never reach out and grab it."
