The Film Industry is hard to get into.
It doesn't have to be that way.
The Shoot is giving professional "on-set" learning experiences to young aspiring filmmakers from all over the world, for free.
Filmmaking is a team sport.
The best way to learn something is to surround yourself with people willing to share their knowledge and show you how it's done.
Camera and Lights, Sound, Production, Directing and BTS,
5 teams, each consisting of 1 professional and 3 apprentices.
Our editions run as a real movie production set, creating high-quality films which are then submitted to festivals around the globe.
Learn from the pros.
Filmmaking shouldn't be taught in a classroom.
We have put together a team of talented, award-winning industry professionals who are not only great at what they do, but also used to teaching their craft.
Support from one of the best.
Craig Viveiros is an award-winning British / Portuguese film and television director. He's directed the critically acclaimed ‘Breathtaking’, Agatha Christie's 'And Then There Were None', BAFTA-winning ‘Rillington Place', and ‘The War of the Worlds'.
Craig also founded 5iveFs, a collaborative community project committed to uniting artists from around the globe in the creation of innovative and original content across various mediums.
It is through 5iveFs that Craig is supporting this project.
The right tools for the job.
We have partnered with some of Portugal's biggest film equipment rental houses to outfit this production with some of the industry's best filmmaking equipment.
Pirates of the Caribbean, The House of The Dragon,
and Fast and Furious X are just some of the productions that have rented equipment from them.
Hear from some of the filmmakers we've helped so far.

A location that speaks for itself.
Deep in central Portugal, there is a beautiful place that offers a large variety of filming locations.
This is where the previous edition of The Shoot took place.

Money talk.
We are providing this experience to young filmmakers for free. There's no catch ;)
We believe that education should not be hidden behind a paywall and we are excited to use this project as a way to shine a light on talented filmmakers, regardless of their financial background.
Apply for The Shoot.
We are currently working on the second edition of this project.
Say hi to us on WhatsApp to get involved!
We'll respond as soon as possible.
-
The project is free, but we have to pay for food and accomodation, right?Wrong! Our goal is to be able to cover those expenses too. We will be working with a catering company which will deliver breakfast, lunch and dinner, and we’ll also be providing accomodation for the duration of the project!
-
Are travel expenses covered too?Travel from and to the nearest airport to the location is covered, as well as any transport needed during the production. For the moment we are asking for participants to cover their own flight to Lisbon, but we are working to see if we’ll also be able to cover that! Work in Progress!
-
I don’t have a lot of filmmaking experience. Should I still apply?Yes! The only thing that we are asking from the applicants is a willingness to learn and to work hard. As long as you have that, we’ll teach you the rest!
-
I can’t make it for the dates on the project, what now?Don’t worry! Our goal is to be able to create various editions of this project, so if you can’t make it for the dates advertised for the current edition, you can still apply for future shoots! Just make sure to say that when you message us on WhatsApp!
Our awesome partners.
