By creating a series of films that increase in the level of complexity, we anticipate the participants will develop the necessary skills to feel confident about the filmmaking process. The goal is to encourage participants to go on to make their own independent films and form the necessary alliances to proceed further.
Independent filmmakers are by necessity independent.
These workshops are designed to allow for learning on the job and self direction. We will learn from each other as well as from experienced people who are prepared to guide us. Filmmaking will be hands on and each participant will be invited to share in the organisation of a film production, work in a defined role on the film set, participate in 3 mini workshops, observe the editing process and screening of the film at CineVic. This fee will cover the costs of making one film.
