Collaboration
Film students collaborate with our acting students to have a table read of their screenplays, and hold casting calls to find actors for their shorts. Once casting is completed, and locations are secured, the filmmakers get together to let their vision take shape. There is no greater learning than one's own personal take from on-set work and post production.
Once their film is completed, the students screen it to a test audience at the studio, and send the final drafts to different film festivals. Several students also release their debut shorts and features on Amazon Prime, Tubi and Youtube
Filmmaking students Tenley (right) filming her debut feature After The Freeze. The film is currently making festival rounds around the world.
