The Shooting Party is a radical and imaginative new series which brings together nine aspiring deaf and disabled film-makers in a collective to direct their own short films, and support each other through the process. Over a twelve week run, The Shooting Party follows the film-makers from pitching their ideas to a commissioning panel, through setting up, shooting and editing their films, to the final screening at BAFTA in front of an audience of industry professionals. One of the nine film-makers will win the Shooting Party Best Short Film Award, leading to further training and a commission from Channel 4.
