Film Lab 2025

It’s a wrap on the second edition of the HOME Film Lab! Over 5 and a half intensive days led by Director Dan Thorburn, 10 Greater Manchester filmmakers explored the importance and art of collaboration.

Aimed at filmmakers over 25 who have made film(s) with little or no funding and training, the programme explored the different facets of filmmaking from the development process with the producer through to script editing, working with a DOP to create a coherent cinematic language, up to the all-important post production, editing and sound design, ending with a discussion with emerging directors on their career paths so far.
