Fostering creativity through these strange times can be an undoubted challenge. 

Yet Australian company The Producers have initiated an outlet that can help our creative community continue to share and inspire through an online blog and virtual cinematheque called TheProducersCONNECT.

TheProducersCONNECT Virtual Cinematheque is an opportunity for our talented Directors to showcase their skills with a specially created film in our new world.

The films must follow the rules of the TheProducersCONNECT manifesto crafted by the directors themselves.

The Producers have 5 films on the site and will release new films weekly on Wednesday at 12 noon.

The Virtual Cinematheque is open to any creative out there wanting to make a submission so please get in touch at noelle@theproducers.co if you would like to contribute. 

As mentioned all that’s required is to follow the manifesto rules as below. 

  • The Producers’ Virtual Cinematheque Manifesto
  • Shooting must be done on a phone.
  • The director must shoot, write and edit their film.
  • The duration should not exceed 60 seconds. 
  • Special lighting is not acceptable (if there is too little light for exposure the scene must be cut or a single lamp be attached to the camera).
  • Optical work (adapters) and filters are forbidden, (special effects filters/ post filters).
  • The film must not contain superficial action. (Murders, weapons, etc. must not occur).
  • The director should work to their own theme inspired by current events (unless otherwise directed by their peers), 
  • The director will deliver a final video within 7 days from their selected start date.
  • The film is to be made in line with current government health and safety regulations.
  • The director will retain all rights but agrees to premier their content with The Producers.
