ACC - Active Cinematographers Club
(Lisbon, Portugal)
We're a collective comprising passionate cinema enthusiasts proficient in shooting, editing, color grading, sound recording, and more. The ACC (which stands for "Active Cinematographers Club") is poised to create compelling cinematic footage. Our primary goal is to craft visually stunning (max) one-minute scenes that tell engaging stories, offering valuable practice opportunities for participants.
Participation in this zero-budget project is geared toward practice and self-promotion. While our current focus is on honing skills, we believe this collaborative platform serves as a valuable opportunity for individuals to showcase their talents to a broader audience. As we embark on numerous exciting projects in 2024, ACC anticipates a year filled with diverse and captivating cinematic endeavors.
In this collaborative endeavor, ACC seeks to capture scenes that resemble professional film sequences, providing actors and filmmakers alike with impressive footage for their portfolios and reels (where we all mention each other). We extend a warm welcome to individuals of all ages, genders, religions, skin tones, and backgrounds, fostering an inclusive environment within our group.
Anyone is welcome to join. But we are currently particularly lacking a few actors, editors and boom operators. So if you know someone eager to contribute to engaging projects and understands the collaborative value at ACC, please direct them our way. Let's create something extraordinary together! 😊
The ACC is also interesting for filmmakers of all kinds (including directors, colorists, SFX, animation, editors) who have just moved to Lisbon and are looking to connect with like-minded people or would even like to be involved in their first project.
Please give us a short introduction of yourself along with your experience level:
PRACTICE CINEMATOGRAPHY WITH US
You're a hobby actor, cinema enthusiast, an independent filmmaker or alike, ready for practicing to shoot cinematic footage, exchanging valuable ideas and experiences among cinematographers, editors, gaffers, colorists, actor / actresses alike, while socializing with others. All at the same time. The ACC will put a lot of effort to be running one activity per month in 2024, for which you can submit non-commercial scripts (up to one minute) and actually get them filmed.
