MKFN was set up in 2009 and is an important strand of ICMK’s work. MKFN brings together independent filmmakers from the region to promote collaboration and creativity. 

The network is involved in the following areas of activity:

·      Training and workshops: MKFN runs courses that aim to respond to the needs of filmmakers in the region.

·      Promoting MK as a place to film and making it easy for filmmakers to find crew and facilities.

·      Promoting wider opportunities for training across the UK:

·      Running networking events with talks from industry professionals

·      Providing a platform for filmmakers through regular Network Shorts screening events

MKFN is an open collective of people interested in making films.

Aims and objectives – for 2015 
  • Networking/Collaborative working environment
  • Workshops in all aspects of film
  • Screening opportunities and events
Our mission is to encourage local film talent to be able to express and air their ideas in a trusting and creative forum and to enable them to bring their visions to fruition. This will be through various training courses and workshops which aim to develop and nurture skills and to help others meet like- minded people within the business.

In the next few months we are planning a series of taster ½ day workshops which if proven popular will possibly lead  to affordable full six week courses  to encourage local talent to further their skills in:

·         Scriptwriting

·         Film Production 

·         Editing

Last year we run two successful script writing workshops by Linda Dunscombe and had a Short film screening event to allow members to screen their work and created a valuable networking environment.  At the last screening Event on November, Jim Hoyland from the Open University Sound Recording Studio gave a talk about sound on film from dubbing as we have had to do on our short film Small Change to foley and music. This gave our members an insight into the whole process
