Ongoing Filmmaker Course

As a filmmaker, there will always be an evolution to your creativity and your brand. My ongoing courses help you to focus on specific aspects of your art and your business to help design your progress. These courses are open, so you can come and go with each subject. Once a month, I will focus on one particular aspect of film. We will take a deep dive into these, examining technical knowledge and pushing your own voice in new creative ways. Directing actors, lighting techniques, motion in film, understanding script from an post production/editing perspective and script to scene dissections are all part of the deeper focus of these ongoing courses. Each sessions is $50 per person and must be paid prior to coming to class that day.
