When I Grow Up

What do you want to be when you grow up?
That’s the first line of When I Grow Up, a poem by Scottish poet, Ellen Renton. Young Filmmakers Glasgow’s next filmmaking endeavour sees us take this beautiful piece of writing to the screen.

Our Resources

People

All it takes to make a great film is great people round a great script. Our network is growing every week, and it’s our people we’re proudest of.

Audiences

A film is made to be seen. Why not submit it to our film festival, and let it be seen by professional filmmakers and local film buffs alike?

Film Labs

This is where we stand on the shoulders of giants. We invite you to our intensive monthly labs, hosted by experts, covering all subjects – the necessary and the neglected.

Production Templates

From call sheets to casting agreements, we’ve got all the documents ready for when it’s time to get pre-production on the go.

Equipment

We are working with our members to build a bank of equipment that will be readily available for shooting. Batteries included.

Library

We’re all about sharing. So we’ve put together a library of film books for our members. Join, and take a leaf out of our books.
