Join the Lift-Off Global Network at our home in the world-famous Pinewood Studios for a filmmaking showcase that puts you in the centre of everything.

The Showcases are quarterly events aimed at screening & workshopping indie content from unsung talents and introducing producers to exciting new projects.

The Showcase will consist of an out-of-competition screening in the world-famous Pinewood Studios - home of blockbuster franchises such as James Bond and Star Wars.

The screening is followed by a focus group & feedback centred around the next stages of development. Feedback is crucial for any creative looking to succeed; this is an invaluable opportunity that will benefit any filmmaker.

You'll find free content on our YouTube Channel, such as live workshops, interviews with filmmakers, news updates, and more. Subscribe!
