This broad-scoped workshop is ideal for emerging filmmakers!

The workshop will cover basic script-writing, budget preparation, pre-production, production and post, with particular attention to directing and producing. What are potential production issues in a script? What should you ask during casting sessions? Should you rehearse? What happens when things go wrong (and they will go wrong)? This workshop is especially useful for those who are interested in writing, producing and directing their own material.
