“Between the Lines’ is a 15min musical/comedy short film which follows shy book lover Jane as she unexpectedly has to pitch to save her beloved library from closure. The film was shot all around Devon and involved nearly 80 cast and crew members. The film will be shown as part of the workshop. This session will give a full overview of making the film, from sourcing locations and finding cast to production, editing, promotion and more! We’ll look at what worked well and what we’d have done differently. It’s aimed at anyone who’s currently making (or looking to make) a short film and hopefully provide some useful tips and advice to help their productions.
