Shooting People was an international network for independent filmmakers, founded in 1998 by Cath Le Couteur, Jess Search and Stu Tily. The organisation facilitated collaboration, connections, training opportunities and knowledge sharing among independent filmmakers, and became known for its open, DIY ethos and community-led approach.
The network was widely cited as an influential grassroots filmmaking community and was covered by publications including Screen Daily, The Guardian and the British Film Institute.
After 27 years of continuous activity, Shooting People concluded its operations in 2025, while keeping a curated selection of resources online for archival and practical use.
