THE SATURDAY FILM CLUB
The Saturday Film Club
Let's make movies! The Saturday Film Group is a McMinnville Community Media program for community members that want to make movies. We are a small group of volunteers that meet a fewtimes a month to learn filmmaking skills and to produce
a short film to submit to the McMinnville Short Film Festival. Everyone
is welcome to join, including aspiring and professional screenwriters,
directors, camera operators, film editors, audio engineers, lighting
engineers, location scouts, and others. Join us any time of the year. No
experience is required.
Each year, the group picks a script to produce from the writers in the
group. The crew is assembled and we hire professional actors.
Pre-production typically takes several months. Actual filming is usually
a day or two at a location in McMinnville Oregon. We've produced a short
film every year since 2018.
Scattered throughout the year, we also hold free workshops that are of
interest to the group such as screenwriting, film editing, set lighting,
camera operation, and other filmmaking skills.
This is a great group to learn new filmmaking skills, polish current
skills, and network with like-minded individuals. We have a great group
of people and the donuts at the meetings aren't bad, either.
We typically meet on Saturdays around noon. Please contact us to confirm
when the next meeting will be held.
