Using a combination of presentation, discussion and practical exercises, 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? How should you conduct a casting session? What are the various crew positions? How do you set the tone for your crew during production? This workshop is especially useful for those who are interested in writing, producing and directing their own material. 

This workshop will also focus on working with Actors.
