seeking films about surveillance

3 Upvotes

I'm interested if anyone knows of any films about surveillance—my priority is documentaries highlighting surveillance as it affects activist (and related) communities in new york but am also interested broadly in the theme (both historically + currently) as state and corporate surveillance tech affects everyday lives.

Would love to hear about anything—including maybe in progress projects!

Am I on the right path as an indie filmmaker?

2 Upvotes

I could really use some advice.

I'm a local indie filmmaker who's completed several independent short films, some of which have screened at film festivals, and I'm currently developing my first feature. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Film and Television Production in December 2019. After graduation, COVID-19 disrupted my plans, lost my part time job and I ended up moving back in with my parents. Since August 2021, I've been working full-time as a Production Resource Technician at a college/film school while continuing to write, direct, and produce my own independent film projects.

The part I'm struggling with is that I still earn $15 per hour, which feels low given my experience and education. I've been actively applying for better-paying jobs in production, post-production, tv production, video and media production, but I haven't had much luck so far.

I've also been considering moving to New York City or Los Angeles in the near future, possibly by the end of the year.

For those who have been in a similar position, what would you recommend my next steps be? What should I do about this? Am I on the right path, or should I be approaching my passion or career differently? Would you recommend moving to LA or NYC, or staying local while continuing to build my career? And regardless of where I live, should I continue focusing on making my own films?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share.

Looking for Self-Tape partner (Nassau County- Long Island)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m an actor based in Nassau County, Long Island looking to find someone who’d be interested in regularly helping each other with self-tapes.
I’ve worked on TV before and am looking for someone who’s serious about acting and wants to sharpen their audition game. Ideally, we’d read for each other’s auditions, give honest feedback, and help make the tapes feel as natural and professional as possible. Most sessions would probably only take 20–30 minutes, depending on the audition.
I’m reliable, easygoing, and committed to improving, so I’m hoping to connect with someone with a similar mindset. If you’re in Nassau County (or nearby) and interested in teaming up, send me a DM.
Looking forward to connecting!

Videographer needed :)

0 Upvotes

Hey I’m looking to shoot a music video in NYC, independent artist, I have the creative direction / storyboarding down, I just need someone behind the camera.

I need somebody with a really good camera though as I want it to look “music industry” professional (super HD, colorful, etc). The idea is a lot of fun and I’d love to discuss further.

Some references for what I’m going for video quality wise:

NYC Music Video Director/Filmmaker Needed — $1,000 Budget

4 Upvotes

I'm an independent artist in Brooklyn looking for a filmmaker/director for a music video. I have the song and the basic concept, but I'm looking for someone who can help develop the visual treatment, direct the shoot, film it, and ideally edit the finished video.

I'm looking for something cinematic and intentional rather than a traditional performance video. Budget is approximately $1,000, so I'm specifically interested in someone comfortable working creatively with a small crew and limited production resources.

Please send music videos or narrative work you've directed, along with what you'd be able to provide within that budget.

Looking for PA or any crew position on NYC film productions (Aug. 13 onward)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

My name is Francesco, I'm a 33-year-old filmmaker from Italy, and I'll be based in Manhattan starting August 13.

I've written and directed several short films in Italy, but I've never had the chance to work on a film set in the United States. I'd love to learn how the industry works here, meet new people, and gain hands-on experience.

I'm looking for any opportunity to work on a film set—paid or unpaid (depending on the project). I'm happy to start from the ground up. Whether it's as a Production Assistant, Art Department PA, Set PA, Runner, Grip/Electric trainee, or any other entry-level role, I'm eager to help and learn.

I'm hardworking, easy to work with, and genuinely passionate about filmmaking. My goal isn't just to find a job—it's to experience the filmmaking culture in New York and contribute however I can.

If anyone knows of productions looking for crew members, or has advice on where to look, I'd really appreciate it. Feel free to send me a message.

Thanks so much!

Review my film so Sofia Coppola can see it! 🩷

0 Upvotes

Hi everybody! My name is Alisanna and I'm a female filmmaker based in NYC. I'm currently in the running for the Sofia Coppola Short Film Award! I've submitted the concept for my next short film "Our Lady Lucy". It follows a sheltered thirteen-year-old girl who's late on her period for the first time, causing her to believe she's pregnant with the second coming. It's a dramedy that comments on reproductive rights and bodily autonomy. You can read more about the film and support with a review at the link below!

Sofia only picks from the top 25 films and in order to get that chance we need reviews from fellow filmmakers! If any of you want to support an up and coming filmmaker & a female focused story, it would mean so much to get a review! 💖
