Film Making New York

[FILM MEETUP] Season 3 Challenge 9 (S3C9) Screening!

Join us on Saturday, **December 12** at BRIC for our PENULTIMATE screening of Season 3! We'll be watching the incredible short films made for this challenge, and kicking off the final challenge for the season! **In order to keep the group going as it grows into new spaces, we are accepting donations at a suggested price of $20. Our mission to keep filmmaking free and accessible to all remains the same, so these funds go strictly towards operating costs. This donation is not required to attend, but your contributions go towards a great cause.** Submit films for Challenge 9 [HERE](https://shortcutsnyc.com/submit) **Deadline to submit is Thursday, December 10th by 11:59pm.** Challenge Rules for S3C9 (November 1 - December 12): * Rule 1 (Form): **Overhead Shot** * Rule 2 (Wildcard): **Shoot your film only on your phone** **For S3C9, you have until December 10 to shoot a film on your phone that includes at least one overhead shot. Get creative and ask yourself: How can you subvert expectations with these elements?** * ***NOTE: If these guidelines are not met there is a high probability that your film will not be shown. Short Cuts is a learning community so you MUST learn what these rules are before planning for your film. We prioritize films that are submitted on time, are 5 minutes and under, and have the director present. Films that are submitted on time and follow the rules will be shown in ascending runtime order, and then everything submitted late will be after. No generative AI films or films largely enhanced by generative AI.*** \*\*\* At the end of the event, we will provide everyone with two randomly drawn rules from a hat as guidelines for participating in future challenges. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to create short films following these rules. At the next meeting, you will get the opportunity to show off your film, watch what others have made, and receive the next challenge's randomly drawn rules! Note that **no** experience is required, and all you need is a camera and a way to edit and upload your film. **Short Cuts** is a group of independent filmmakers challenging themselves to create short films every \~4 weeks following a number of randomly drawn rules. Each meeting, filmmakers have the opportunity to show off their films and watch others, as well as draw the rules for the next film challenge. This group welcomes any experience level, from those who have never touched a camera, written a script, or acted in a film to seasoned veterans looking for a challenge. **DONATE:** [https://www.nyfa.org/projects/project-info/?id=CA2043](https://www.nyfa.org/projects/project-info/?id=CA2043) **INSTAGRAM:** [https://www.instagram.com/shortcutsny/](https://www.instagram.com/shortcutsny/) **DISCORD:** [https://discord.gg/XQud4Hqeen](https://discord.gg/XQud4Hqeen) **WEBSITE:** [https://shortcutsnyc.com](https://shortcutsnyc.com/)

Write the Role Only You Can Play: A Self-Made Actor Lab™ Intensive

# **ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP** You became an actor to tell stories—not to spend your entire career waiting for someone else to give you permission to tell one. **Self-Made Actor Lab™** is an intimate, hands-on intensive for actors who are ready to stop waiting for the perfect role and begin creating work of their own. Led by award-winning actress and filmmaker **Sakinah Iman**, this workshop will help you identify the experiences, perspectives and natural talents that make you uniquely compelling—and begin transforming them into an original cinematic monologue written specifically for **you**. This isn't about writing a random scene just so you have something to perform. **Your life is creative material.** Your humor. Your heartbreak. Your culture. Your relationships. Your contradictions. Your career. Your weirdness. Your talents. The things you've survived. The things you can't stop talking about. Those are often the very things that give an artist a point of view. Sakinah's own career changed when she stopped waiting for someone to write the perfect role for her and began creating films around her own voice, talents and lived experiences. **Now she'll teach you how to begin doing the same.** *** # **WHAT YOU'LL LEARN** ### **1\. Find the Story Only You Can Tell** Through guided exercises, you'll explore your experiences, perspective, personality and natural talents to uncover material that could become compelling original work. Maybe you're also a dancer, rapper, comedian, athlete, martial artist, musician, parent, chef, poet—or you simply carry a life experience and perspective nobody else can reproduce. You'll learn to ask: **What makes *me* interesting before I ever step into character?** ### **2\. Turn Your Truth Into a Cinematic Monologue** You'll learn how to take raw personal material and begin shaping it into a structured monologue with character, stakes, conflict, specificity and emotional movement. The goal isn't simply to tell your life story. It's to transform truth into **cinematic storytelling.** ### **3\. The Art of Believability** A powerful monologue isn't just about the words. It's about whether we believe you. We'll explore performance choices that can help personal material feel lived rather than recited, including emotional connection, specificity, listening, intention and truthful on-camera behavior. ### **4\. Stop Thinking Only Like an Actor\. Start Thinking Like a Creator\.** What happens when you stop seeing yourself only as the person auditioning for someone else's project? You'll learn how self-created work can become an artistic and career asset—and how actors can begin thinking like the writers, producers and creative executives of their own material rather than waiting exclusively for auditions. ### **5\. Film Festivals: What Happens After You Make the Film?** Creating the work is only part of the journey. You'll learn the fundamentals of positioning and submitting an independent short film to festivals, including festival fit, submissions, materials and how to begin building a strategic festival plan. And just as importantly: **What do you do with the film after you've made it?** We'll discuss ways original work can support your reel, artistic brand, online presence and future opportunities. *** # **WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH** By the end of the intensive, you'll leave with: * A clearer understanding of your unique artistic point of view * A personal story or concept selected for development * The foundation/draft of an original cinematic monologue * A framework for developing that monologue into a short film * A beginner-friendly understanding of film festival strategy * A clearer plan for using self-created work to increase your visibility as an actor *** # **LEARN FROM AN ACTOR WHO CHOSE HERSELF** **Sakinah Iman** is an NYC actress, writer, director and producer with nearly two decades of acting and performance experience and more than a decade of independent filmmaking experience. After years of working as an actor, Sakinah began creating original vehicles that showcased her own voice and talents rather than waiting for someone else to create those opportunities for her. Her work has since earned **28 film festival awards, screened at more than 70 film festivals worldwide, and been licensed and distributed on major television and streaming platforms, including Showtime, Paramount+, Hulu, Apple TV and Prime Video.** Her spoken-word short film, *He Wants to Know My Number*, grew directly from her own voice and lived experience—one example of what can happen when an actor stops asking, *“What role will someone give me?”* and starts asking: **“What can I create that only I could make?”** But this workshop isn't about teaching you to copy Sakinah's story. **It's about helping you discover yours.** *** # **WHO THIS IS FOR** This workshop is for the actor who knows they're capable of more than the opportunities they've been given. The actor who's tired of waiting for the “right” role. The actor whose current reel doesn't capture the full depth of what they can do. The multidisciplinary artist who has another gift—music, dance, poetry, comedy, athletics, martial arts, writing or something completely unexpected—and has never considered building original work around it. And the actor who knows they have something to say but hasn't yet figured out how to turn it into a story. **You don't have to wait for someone else to write the role that finally lets people see you.** **You can write it yourself.** *This is intentionally a small-group experience so there is room for discussion, writing and individual exploration. Space is limited.*

Raise the Red Lantern (1991); Wed, Nov 18th, 8:20pm, Film Forum NYC

If you have seen a film by Zhang Yimou before, you know you are in for an amazing visual treat! Starring Gong Li, The film is set during the Warlord Era of China in the 1920s, and tells the story of a young woman who becomes the fourth wife of a wealthy man, and the dense and brutal household politics she finds herself in the middle of. Celebrating its 35th anniversary, This 4K restoration of RAISE THE RED LANTERN is nothing short of magnificent. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and won the BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language. Zhang also adapted it and directed a ballet from the source material, for the National Ballet of China. As ever, we will meet up afterwards for food/drinks/discussion!

Can't wait to see you all. **Please RSVP and buy your tickets ASAP if you are coming... many of our recent screenings have sold out, and people have been missing the event by waiting too long.**

Its name is a syllabic abbreviation of **"Triangle Below Canal Street"**. The "triangle" (more accurately a quadrilateral) is bounded by Canal Street, West Street, Broadway, and Chambers Street. By the 2010s, a common marketing tactic was to extend Tribeca's southern boundary to either Vesey or Murray Streets to increase the appeal of property listings. The neighborhood began as farmland, then was a residential neighborhood in the early 19th century, before becoming a mercantile area centered on produce, dry goods, and textiles, and then transitioning to artists and then actors, models, entrepreneurs, and other celebrities. The neighborhood is home to the Tribeca Festival, which was created in response to the September 11 attacks, to reinvigorate the neighborhood and downtown after the destruction caused by the terrorist attacks. (source: Google-AI Overview) **Tribeca** is a chic, upscale neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, known for its historic cast-iron and brick industrial buildings that have been converted into luxury lofts. The area, an acronym for **"Triangle Below Canal Street,"** features cobblestone streets, art galleries, boutiques, and a mix of residential and commercial spaces **PLAN** We'll navigate some of the most interesting streets of Manhattan loaded with original cobble stone streets, iconic buildings, & public parks as well as modern day preservations of our past treaures. ***Some Subjects on photo walk:*** 1.
