The Film Production Club provides a fabulous range of workshops for all aspects of film making!
BBC Film Productions Club (BFP) is one of BBC Club’s best kept secrets
Created for those who have an interest in any of the aspects of making films. From scriptwriting, to post-production the club is committed to supporting its members.
It has evolved over the years to assist BBC staff and members alike to develop their film making skills.
To this end the BFP hold a number of workshops (not all listed here) and offer opportunities to work collaboratively on projects.
We also arrange talks and Q&A sessions with industry experts.
Our film equipment inventory is continually improving and now has an annual budget. If we do not have what you are looking for we often have access to equipment at very competitive prices from equipment hire vendors.
