STRONG ARM OF THE LAW (Western Short Film) — barandcross

We meet at Banister Park in Eastleigh on the first Wednesday of the month, except in July and August — it is always worth checking the programme before setting out.

Evenings run from the basics of camera work through to more advanced technique, taking in sound, lighting and editing along the way. Everyone is welcome, from complete novice to seasoned expert.

There is more about the club on our About Us page.
