🎬 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. Two Film Crews:
    You’ll be split into teams. Roles are assigned via lucky draw or a quick rock-paper-scissors showdown — fun, spontaneous, and fair. Everyone gets an essential job.

  2. Script in 30 Minutes:
    You’ll write a short 90-second film from scratch using group brainstorming and AI tools like ChatGPT. Stories are simple, emotional, and shootable in a single indoor location.

  3. Shoot Begins:
    Each team rehearses, lights, shoots, and directs their short — just like a real crew would. Real actors. Real setups. Real tension (the good kind).

  4. Wrap & Deliver:
    Once the session ends, all footage will be uploaded to Google Drive (or via WeTransfer). Anyone who wants to edit their version of the film can do so — and the best cuts will be featured on Filmabad’s website, Instagram, and other online platforms.

👥 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.
