WEDNESDAY 22^ND

10×10 - 4th Floor Shacklewell Studios, 28 Shacklewell Lane, London E8 2EZ ? 7:30pm ? FREE

One of the most unique events for filmmakers, 10×10 offers a chance to have 10 minutes of your work in progress, whether it be a straight excerpt, trailer, key scenes or even rushes, watched by other filmmakers who will offer their (constructive, probably) feedback. It might be worth getting a second opinion on that 6-way split-screen action scene.
