Los Angeles Film in a Hat is a welcoming, low-pressure meetup for people who want to actually make things together. Every week, the goal is simple: One scene. One location. One short film or sketch. PLEASE UPLOAD SCRIPTS HERE: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1F6TOzm1aL5Dtpd4sNjxZhm3yD_5_fmRz?usp=sharing Anyone can submit a short script ahead of time. Scripts should be simple, shootable, and ideally around 2–4 pages, with one location that’s easy to access — an apartment, park, backyard, sidewalk, parking lot, outside a café, etc. Makisupa is close to a park if we need an exterior scene and close to my apartment where we shot the last short film. We’ll choose the script together in advance so that when Sunday comes, we can spend our time actually making it. We’ll meet at a coffee shop at 3 PM, hang out, meet everyone, read through the script together, figure out cast and crew, and then go shoot it. If you have experience, equipment, or a role you’d especially like to take on, you’re welcome to volunteer ahead of time. Want to direct, shoot, record sound, act, edit, produce, or do something else? Great. Have a camera, microphones, lights, tripod, or other easy-to-carry gear you’re happy to bring? Amazing. Whatever roles are still open can go into the hat. You absolutely do not need professional experience or fancy equipment to join. If someone brings great gear, we’ll use it. If nobody does, I have an iPhone and some wireless mics. That’s enough.
