The work we've done together
We've been collaborating together since 2024 and here's everything we've done together since!
Open Studio Visits to Red Stamp Post
When Red Stamp Post opened their new studio space in 2025, we organised two group visits with our members for them to come into the studio and hear from Connor and Michael what they've built.
We had 12 people attend and they got hands on with the brand new industry standard equipment.
Support for NFC Official Short Films
Red Stamp has supported NFC Official Short Film Post production for 2 years now. In 2025 we spent a day at Red Stamp Post with our volunteer post production team as part of our community short film NAILS, where we were able to do the final mix for the film's online release.
The film, which had over 70 volunteers work on it, was released onto the NFC YouTube channel which has now been viewed over 2,250 times!
For The Shedding, Connor and the team provided post production guidance and for our 2026 community short films, we will be exclusively working with Red Stamp Post to create a series of post production workshops and working days with each film, helping to make the post production process more sociable and creative for our volunteers.
Support for NFC Film Challenges
Red Stamp offers guidance and support to filmmakers participating in our Film Challenges. When we did the Voice Over Film Challenge in 2025, they offered members free use of their recording booth in order to record the voice overs for the challenge.
For 2026, Red Stamp Post have committed to helping NFC with the post production of our Feature Short Film Challenge which had over 150 people participate in the creation of 11 short films that will stitch together into NFC's first feature film.
In 2026, Connor will be a judge for the Inspiration Film Challenge, giving his feedback to filmmakers on the films they create.
Industry Talks & Practical Workshops
We're so excited to be doing more Industry related talks and hands on workshops with Red Stamp People in 2026. Some upcoming events are:
Post Production Workflow Workshop
Trusting Your Gut in the World of Freelancing
Colour Grading Basics
All of our talks and workshops are free to attend as it garners our mission of lower the barrier of entry into film and media within the North East.
Support to Red Stamp Productions
NFC members have been invited to take part of Red Stamp Productions both for work experience and for paid opportunities.
Notebly, Stuart Hunter (Executive Producer, Nails) and Sarah Salem (Runner, Nails) helped on Red Stamp's Award Winning Documentary, Sand Dancers in 2024.
