Weekend Script-to-Screen Boot Camp

WHAT:  A weekend of film-making, the whole process, from script to screen. On Saturday, learn and build – set building, set dressing, grip & lighting, make-up and more. Taught by film professionals (Local IATSE 480) with years of experience.  On Sunday, our on set mentors will guide you through the shooting our movie.
