First Chester Film Co-op event of 2019 where we screened local short films, trailers and music videos as well as demonstrated camera gear and provided opportunities for local filmmakers, camera ops, actors, writers, musicians, composers, digital artists and editors to network and discover projects to collaborate on in the Cheshire West & Chester region.

Local steadycam operator Phil Wright demonstrated his new camera jib to our Chester Film Co-op members who had the opportunity to have hands-on experience of using studio-quality equipment.

Local film director Ryan Garry demonstrated his homemade motion-capture filming equipment to members of the Chester Film Co-op, his headmounted digital camera utilises facial tracking technology which can be attributed to a fully CGI character in Anghenfil, his fantasy feature film project.

Film Chester hosts regular Chester Film Co-op events in Chester which are a great place to network with other filmmakers, directors, camera operators, actors, writers, composers, sound engineers and film buffs. We also hold short film screenings at our events, which are always well received.

Another good turnout to our Chester Film CO-OP​ short film screening this month, as it’s approaching Hallowe’en season we included a few horror shorts and trailers into the programme. Great to see everyone is busy working on so many local film projects and using our networking events to make connections for future collaborations. Remember to keep following our social media pages for the latest updates on any future events we are hosting in #Chester.
