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.

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.
