This is an 8 week class is a class in Film Production and Filmmaking that is good for actors looking to create demo reel, directors looking to learn to direct, and filmmakers looking to learn to make film/edit etc. Class will meet to write and build material to shoot. Discuss how to shoot. And then independant groups (crews and actors) will shoot on their own to bring back to class and build the edit. We will make shorts and screen them at a showcase at the end. Moonlight will provide equipment to help shoot. And if students have equipment they want to use that will be used also. Will be a great learning experience in what it takes to produce film.
