🎬 What is the Filmabad Bootcamp?

The Filmabad Bootcamp is a 5-hour hands-on filmmaking experience — designed for anyone who's ever wanted to step onto a set and actually make something.

No lectures. No theory.
This isn’t a classroom. It’s your first real crew.

đź•“What Happens from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Held at Daftarkhwan | DHA-1 Islamabad, this single-evening session is built like a real shoot — just compressed into one fast-paced, collaborative sprint.

Here’s what the evening looks like:

  1. One Film Crew
    Everyone works together as a single team under the guidance of industry pros. The director is one of the mentors, leading the vision while every participant takes on an essential crew role.

  2. Script is Pre-Written
    The short script is prepared in advance by one of the mentors. The team brings it to life on set with pro gear and guidance.

  3. Shoot Begins
    You rehearse, light, shoot, and direct scenes together just like a real crew. Real actors. Real setups. Real on-set energy.

  4. Wrap & Deliver
    When the day ends, all material is taken and edited into a complete short film by a core Filmabad community mentor. You walk away knowing you were part of a real production, with a polished film to show for it.

👥 Who It’s For

  • Newcomers to filmmaking

  • Students, creators, 9-to-5 professionals

  • Writers, dreamers, the secretly obsessed

  • Anyone who's tired of waiting for the “right time”

You don’t need experience.
Just energy, openness, and the will to try.

💥 Why It’s Different

Other workshops talk about filmmaking.
We throw you into it.

You’ll leave with:

  • A short film you actually helped make

  • First-hand experience in a live production setting

  • Confidence, skills, and maybe even your first reel

This is your set.
This is your shot.

This is where you begin.

FILM GEAR WE WILL BE USING

At Filmabad Bootcamp, you'll work hands-on with professional-grade cinema equipment used in real productions. Our camera system is the fully rigged Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, paired with a Sigma 18–35mm f/1.8 ART lens for cinematic depth and clarity. For audio, we use industry-standard tools including the Rode NTG5 shotgun mic, Zoom F6 field recorder, and Saramonic Pro wireless lavalier systems. Lighting is handled with precision using the Amaran 300c and Kino Flo units — trusted by professionals worldwide. The setup is further enhanced with Hollyland Mars 4K wireless video transmitters, a SmallRig wireless follow focus system, and essential rigging accessories for a complete on-set experience.

YOUR MENTORS

The mentors guiding you are not just instructors. They are working filmmakers who have spent years in the industry, on real sets, behind cameras, and in editing rooms. Each one brings hands-on experience and a deep passion for the craft. They are here beside you, ready to push, challenge, and guide you toward your best work. Every session is built on honesty, collaboration, and the same creative fire that drives them every day.
