Film One Event – Five by Five
Thursday 2nd August, event starts 7.30pm
Film Oxford, 54 Catherine Street.
Five by Five – Collaborative independent filmmaking
Five by Five is an example of independent film making at its best. Five directors, all passionate about making independent films, collaborated to make five high quality films in ten days. They ran a successful crowd funding campaign and tapped into a combined network of contacts from across the country. They shared equipment, locations and crew and with everyone donating their time for free, were able to successfully make five films for roughly the cost of one.
The project was set up by two Oxford-based filmmakers, Martyn Chalk (Chalky) of Chalkstar Films, and Nicki Perkins of Eavesdrop Films; and London-based freelance filmmaker Josh Nolan.
This evening we are pleased to have the opportunity of meeting two of the founding members.
Martyn Chalk

He has co-produced and been employed as a Production Supervisor within the UK indie feature film circuit. He is also a director of music videos, virals and short films. Martyn is co-directing his first feature film later in 2012 and is CEO of Chalkstar Films.
