This fall I'll be teaching The Filmmaker's Project at MassArt's Continuing Education program. It's an advanced critique class for filmmakers who are working on a piece and are looking for some structure (i.e. deadlines!) and feedback from a consistent teacher/classmate group. We will discuss structural, thematic, and fine editing issues, and engage in more philosophical conversations about what it means to make a film. I will also lead occasional workshops on the technical and professional aspects of post-production.
My students last spring came pretty far with their own projects, and seemed to learn from identifying issues in other students’ films, and watching those films evolve in the critique process.
The course begins September 9 and is still open for enrollment. It meets Thursdays 7-10pm.
