FILMMAKING WORKSHOPS

So you want to make a film! But how do you start?

We have several different ways you can learn how to put your idea onto the screen. In all of our workshops we cover the basics of screenwriting, production, and editing in order to give you the full scope of making a film.

In some of the workshops we go more in-depth into a few specific aspects of filmmaking so you can hone your skills and continue to grow and keep creating great movies!

We look forward to seeing you at one of our workshops!
