Where films find their people.
For people who make films because they love it. Make short films on a regular rhythm, crew for each other, and watch every finished film together. No budgets to raise, no festival lottery.
Make. Crew. Screen.
You get good at making films by making lots of them. The co-op makes that affordable: you do sound on Joe's film because he did camera on yours.
Make
A new brief every few weeks: short, simple, with a hard hand-in date. Deadlines get films finished.
- Five minutes, one location, one idea
- Buddies for first films
- Solo, animated and doc all welcome
Crew for each other
Post what you need and say the terms: swap, expenses or paid. Your ledger shows what you have given and received.
- Crew calls near you
- Skills and kit on every profile
- Credits confirmed by the film
Screen
Every film handed in gets shown, online and at local nights. Nobody is ranked or rejected.
- Monthly screenings
- Local nights run by members
- Opt-in feedback from people who watched
One round, start to finish.
Every few weeks there's a new brief. Join in for one round or all of them.

The brief
A short prompt goes out: a length, a limit, one thing your film must include.
Everyone -

Say you're in
Post your idea. First-timers get paired with someone who has made a few.
Makers -

Crew up
Ask for what you need. Offer a hand on someone else's film in return.

Shoot
Small, quick and cheap. Call sheets on everyone's phone.
Cast + crew -
5
Hand in
Upload by the deadline. Tick “feedback wanted” if you want notes.

Screening night
Every film is shown. Then the next brief goes out.
Everyone
A brief, a deadline, and a screening at the end.
We're getting the first brief ready. Join now and it lands in your inbox the day it opens, with everyone else who's in.
Collaborating with strangers only works if it's safe.
No-budget film runs on goodwill. We protect it.
Clear terms on every call
Swap, expenses or paid is stated up front, so nobody feels used and nobody is surprised.
Credits people confirm
Filmographies are confirmed by the films and colleagues involved, not just claimed.
Your film stays yours
You keep every right to what you make. Screenings are for members, and feedback only comes when you ask for it.
Safe sets
Casting calls state intimacy and nudity up front, and under-18s only take part with a guardian.
Pull up a couch. The talk stays next to the work.
One general room and a few craft rooms, and most threads sit beside a round, a film or a crew call. No feed, no likes, no follower counts. Just people talking about the work in front of them.
The first conversations start with the first round.
The Flaggy Shore is a stretch of limestone coast in North Clare, and the place at the heart of a Seamus Heaney poem.
Thousands of separate stones that make one shore. That felt like the right picture for a film crew.
Free to join. Chip in if you can.
Nothing about making or screening films is locked behind a fee. Supporters keep the lights on.
