Our regular Members' Scratch Night returns on Friday 1 May to help more of the creatives in our membership community develop their WIP projects. This is an opportunity to test out material - be it unfinished films, scripts, pieces of writing, or other art forms - in front of a supportive audience, who will be able to provide you with their thoughts and feedback in a casual setting. The event will take place in the Atrium Bar, and will be hosted by fellow cinema member Roberto Prestia.
We'll have six 15-minute slots available for members to present their material (with microphones and a projector available to use, if needed), and additional tickets for audience members who are interested in discovering new work by fellow members, and in contributing to their creative process.
Tickets for the event are £5, and include a token for a complimentary glass of house wine, a beer, or a soft drink at the bar. They are restricted to 2 per member, so you're welcome to bring along a curious +1.
Please ensure you select the right option when booking a ticket:
- If you're looking to present a project, please purchase a Presenter ticket. There are just 6 of these available, so if the option doens't appear, they are unfortunately sold out. Feel free to send an email to membership@thegardencinema.co.uk to let us know you're interested in presenting, so we can contact you if a spot does become available.
- If you'd just like to watch the presentations and provide feedback, please purchase an Audience ticket.
The schedule on the night will be as follows:
19:00-20:00 Introduction and first three presentations of 15 minutes each
20:00-20:30 Break for drinks, providing feedback, and mingling
20:30-21:15 Additional three presentations of 15 minutes each
21:15-22:00 Drinks, providing feedback, and further mingling
