What we do
Films
MFPC brings cast and crew together for club productions. Watch for announcements from the Production Director about acting, screenwriting, camera work, sound, music, editing and production organization. Reply to advertised roles with your interests, experience and availability.
Radio
Members can express interest in joining an episode of Ticket Stub Talks to discuss a film or filmmaking topic with the hosts. Guest spots depend on scheduling, topic fit and the programme’s plans, so we may be unable to accommodate every request. The radio team will confirm the recording details if a suitable opportunity becomes available. Send the radio team your topic idea and availability through @mcmasterfilm on Instagram.
Individual mentorship
Members can request a meeting to discuss a script, seek feedback or work through a filmmaking question. Send a short description and relevant material beforehand. Meetings depend on the adviser’s availability and experience. Members remain responsible for arranging the people, funding and equipment for their own projects. To express interest, reply to an MFPC announcement.
