Directors Circle

A review
for a review.

Here at AktionFilm we are all about supporting artists and emerging filmmakers. Got a short you want feedback on? Submit it, get handed someone else’s, pass it on. 3 honest reviews within the week. Confidential by rule. An active room for the bettering of AI directing — like Benjamin Franklin’s club.

How it works

  1. 01

    Submit a piece

    A short, a scene, a cut. Say what you want notes on.

  2. 02

    Get a piece

    One is handed to you. Review it within the week: what works, then what would make it stronger.

  3. 03

    Pass it on

    It goes to the next member until it has 3 reviews. Yours comes back the same way.

Opening the Circle…

Questions

What is the Directors Circle?
A feedback circle on AktionFilm AI for emerging filmmakers and AI directors. You submit a piece, you are handed someone else's piece to review, and you pass it on. A piece gets 3 reviews within about a week.
What does it cost?
Nothing. You pay in reviews: to stay in the Circle you keep reviewing the pieces handed to you.
What kind of feedback?
Positive, with constructive criticism: what works, then what would make it stronger. Abuse is removal from the Circle.
Is my work kept private?
Yes. A member’s project details are confidential by rule. Pieces and reviews live inside the Circle, not on the public feed.
When does the Circle meet?
Thursdays at 8 pm Pacific, in the community feed under Inner Circle: open chat — cool ideas, suggestions, networking. Occasionally merch and prizes from the Quantum store go to members who show up.
Why "like Benjamin Franklin’s club"?
Franklin’s Junto was a small circle that met weekly to improve each other’s work and thinking. This is that, for AI directing.
