Here at Offset Films, we love chatting with local students, schools, and budding creatives. We are regularly asked about work experience opportunities, and whenever the stars align and it’s safe and appropriate to do so, we absolutely love bringing aspiring filmmakers onto our sets to see the magic happen first-hand.


We believe in supporting our local creative community, but because we are a busy production company, we can't always host everyone. Thankfully, there is an incredible local resource right on our doorstep that every aspiring filmmaker in Suffolk needs to know about.



Introducing Film Suffolk: Your Gateway to the Local Industry

If you haven’t heard of Film Suffolk yet, write the name down right now! They are a fantastic network of local filmmakers, and they do amazing work connecting talent across the county.


At Offset Films, we frequently use this network to find talented crew members for our own shoots, and it’s also a brilliant place to find paid production work. Whether you are looking to take your very first steps in the industry or you're an experienced freelancer looking for local connections, they are the go-to crew.


Once Upon a Time in Suffolk: A Massive Opportunity for Local Talent

We are incredibly excited because Film Suffolk has completed production on the 3rd feature film: "Once Upon A Time In Suffolk".

This is huge news for our local creative scene, and it shows Suffolk as a hotbed of talent, with lots of great locations to film at.


Looking Back at 'The Haunted Hotel'


We’ve got a bit of history here! The Offset Films team was incredibly proud to be part of the production crew on Film Suffolk's previous feature film, The Haunted Hotel, which you can actually watch right now on Amazon. It was a wonderful experience that brought local professionals together and allowed so many aspiring filmmakers to step up, learn new skills, and get a real feature film credit on their CVs.


How to Stay in the Loop

Don't miss out on updates as this exciting project comes together. Here are the best ways to keep your finger on the pulse:


1. Follow the Movie’s Journey

Keep up to date with behind-the-scenes info by liking the official Once Upon a Time in Suffolk Facebook Page.


2. Join the Community

To connect with other creatives, find local jobs, and stay informed about everything happening in our region, make sure to join the main Film Suffolk Facebook Group.


One more name we should certainly not miss out as well is Screen Suffolk!

They are the Suffolk Film office and locations arm for the local council. They are another organisation of which you can apply to be part of the database, see local production information. Join as paid crew on any upcoming work and much much more.


Need a bit of advice on getting started?

We are always cheering for our local creative community. If you see us out and about filming in Suffolk, come say hello!
