Unthank Productions

We make films. Unthank Productions is UEA Filmmaking Society's production company. Helping our student members build their skills with hands-on experience.

This is the official page for the University of East Anglia's Filmmaking Society, a society entirely run by students. Since its creation, we have gained over 120 enthusiastic members and have given a company name to the society - Unthank Productions. With the name and our very talented filmmakers, we aim to create short films and documentaries that have a fresh, new and unique perspective

on the world. We push for our finished films to be screened at film festivals around the world, as well as on our campus, to showcase the amazing talent we craft. For our members, we offer frequent opportunities to get involved in projects, networking and workshops in screenwriting, directing, producing and tech as well as regular film-related socials. Here is our dedicated committee for 2021/22. Presidents: Henry Webb & Idunn Marthinsen
Secretary: Ruby Skippings
Treasurer: Will Tiley
Social Secretary: Caitlin Faulkner
Health & Safety Officer: William Stephenson
Equality & Diversity Officer: Sam Rooke
Head of Fiction: Sam Gordon Webb
Head of Project Support & Union Council Rep: Josh Lingwood

Interested in getting involved in one of our committee members projects for the Unthank Film Festival?

Written and directed by our social sec Salad Spinner Detective is a comedy about detectives Sally and Tony solving crimes in a time of budget cuts. Ludicrous crime fighting measures ensue, working from home, pink fluffy handcuffs, and how does a salad spinner fit in here?

DM or email [email protected] to get involved!

If you want us to promo your films or any roles you’ve got available in your cast or crew shoot us a DM!

This is a paid opportunity, offering £10 an hour each.

This is a great opportunity so please drop me a message if you'd be interested in working as a photographer or videographer for this event.
