What happens when you put 60+ filmmakers in a room? 🎬👇
Back in April, we hosted our second REC event at @campfieldmcr - bringing together filmmakers, creatives, producers, videographers and video professionals from across Manchester and the wider North West ❤️
The night was all about collaboration, conversation and community.
We were lucky enough to hear incredible stories and insights from the Hallows family, with careers spanning TV drama, cinematography, production and music videos - plus an audience Q&A that honestly could’ve gone on all night. @hallows.jo@billie_hallo@vixhallows@camdoogie
Huge shoutout to @darrenjeffries1 for hosting the evening so brilliantly 🎤
And massive thanks to @alexiumz for an inspiring and honest “Show & Tell” session on his upcoming film project.
One of the best parts of the night? Seeing so many production companies and creatives in one room together. Some might technically be “competition” - but we genuinely believe peer support, collaboration and community matter far more than gatekeeping ❤️
The North West creative scene is packed with ridiculously talented people, and REC:MCR is about creating space for everyone to connect, share work, learn from each other and grow together.
And we’re only getting started…

Last week was something special. Seeing so many people come together for the first REC:MCR Manchester Film & Production Meetup genuinely exceeded our expectations. With 80 attendees in the room, the energy, conversations and sense of community were unreal. 🤩
Hosted in partnership with @weare.triangle at @campfieldmcr , the night was about creating a space for filmmakers 🎬 and creatives to connect, share ideas 💡 and learn from one another. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who came down and helped make it what it was. 💪
A special thanks to all our speakers 🎤:
@pjmortlock@g6moco@g6filmstudios@breakthroughfilmfund@versastudios
Planning is already underway for the next event 📅 - will we see you there?!
