Cumbria Filmmakers Network aims to provide information about film activity in Cumbria for filmmakers of any standard, creating opportunities and access to training.
Are you a filmmaker?
Whether you're a big fish or an indie minnow, Cumbria has a variety of talented individuals and organisations with a wealth of creativity and enthusiasm.
So, if you're working on a full-scale production, or an indie short in the region, we'd like to hear from you, and if we can: help you out!
Or do you want to get involved in filmmaking?
The old adage goes: it's not what you know, it's who you know. We believe it's what you know and who you know, which is why we aim to help people find training and opportunities within the region.
Whether you want to be infront or behind the camera; we can put you in touch with the people who could be looking for your skills.
