SF Film Club: Writing (#4)
A Film Club for Filmmakers in Tech
The SF Film Club is a series of small gatherings for filmmakers creating at the intersection of tech and film. Meetings look like this.
The club screens:
recent major releases from tech twitter
members work (with permission)
shorts & feature films (where relevant)
special requests from members
We host lessons around the fundamentals of film:
directing
writing
producing
cinematography
production design
acting/performance
music composition
editing
and more
It is a collaborative environment focused on craft, study, sharing ideas, mutual learning, and growth. The goal is that you walk away from every meeting a more informed and confident filmmaker.
Our 3rd meeting’s Luma can be found here.
This Meeting
We’ll be focused on screenwriting, and how scripts translate to screen. I’ll share what I’m seeing in submissions for SV Film Fund and we’ll study the scripts for 3 films: Thief (1981), Sinners (2025), and Roma (2018) (scripts here, here and here)
Community Presentations (~40m)
We have 3 slots for community presentations (each ~10m long). If you’ve made something, or found something interesting — reach out to @bephrem (or email [email protected]) and I’ll add you to present.
SV Film Fund
We have a $15,000 short film grant (first cycle closed and scripts in review but reach out). Learn more at svfilm.fund.
