Inspiring the future of the film industry

Hi! My names Peter.

I started my journey into the film industry as a unit photographer. Meaning I shot the behind the scenes and marketing photos for the production.

While being involved photographically, I began to explore the avenue of videography and filmmaking. Safe to say, it grabbed hold and hasn’t let go.

With the knowledge I had gained from my short time in the industry, I soon realised that there wasn’t any films or documentaries on what goes on “Behind The Camera”. Until now…

The Film Industry - Life Behind The Camera is a feature length documentary focusing on the following;

• Inspire and encourage young filmmakers. I aim to teach and enlighten the future of the film industry, with knowledge of the Behind The Scenes aspect of the productions, and helping the future make an educated decision on the pathway to their own success. By providing detailed accounts from many different departments, including first hand experience, tips and lessons learned by experienced crew. 

There are some YouTube videos on “Behind The Scenes”. However, they don’t go into detail about what’s actually happening, and why it happens. The difference between those videos and this documentary, is educational detail. 

This documentary is going to be diving into many different departments and getting first hand experience, stories and educating how they got there, what they had to go through and what they do specifically.

My theory is, when someone watches it and has no idea where they want to go, they can get a better understanding, and make a more informed decision that guides them to where they want to be. 

Where are the donations going? Great question, and a valid one. 

 All donations are being put right back into the production of the documentary. From hiring out studios for cast and crew interviews, to lighting and sound equipment.

All I want to do by publishing this documentary, is to be able to inspire and encourage a film industry career, and by donating, you’re helping the future of the industry, get a foot in the door, in the right place that they have chosen.
