WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION



Want to create your own film?

Want to rock your skills to create social justice?

Want to develop your leadership as an artist-activist?



Through this intensive, fun and transformative 16-week

Introductory Workshop, you will learn the technical,

artistic and leadership skills to create your own film.

Each participant will create, write, direct and edit a

5-minute video project.



You will develop a story idea, write a script, draw

storyboards, create shot lists, operate cameras and

compose shots, set-up lights & sound, direct actors

and manage crew, edit, and send your film to film

festivals and beyond.



Access to mini-DV cameras starting the 2nd week

and Mac computers throughout the entire duration

of the workshop is extremely helpful though it is

not a requirement.





FILMMAKER TRAINING PROGRAM

We demystify filmmaking through hands-on exercises

and skill development to cover everything from ideas

and screenwriting to cinematography, directing actors

and editing. If there are any additional financial or ability

(learning disabilities, mobility) issues, please let us know.
