HELP NEEDED TO PRODUCE MNIGHT FILM!
Hi guys! Exciting stuff…
This year’s MNight will be taking a slightly different format to ensure your health and safety. Instead of putting on a live performance, we are going to make a short film to be showcased in March along with others produced by M Socs around the UK.
This is a really exciting opportunity to broaden your skill set and embrace Malaysian culture through an entirely new medium!!!
As this is quite a large task, help will be required with planning, casting, filming, editing and much more. There is absolutely NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED as the Malaysian Student Film Festival committee, under the UKEC, will be providing online workshops on film production.
We also need people to compose an original soundtrack if at all possible…
Please email ents@cumas.org if you have even the slightest bit of interest or curiosity about producing our first ever MNight film – any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
