I Dare You to Make a Film with Your Smartphone!

An online workshop series using your smartphone to make a film, ending with an in-person screening with Ben Williams!

Held Tuesday evenings online from 6-9PM CST

Session 1:  We will learn how to use a smartphone to capture footage, begin to brainstorm ideas, and draft the story you want to tell.

Session 2: Focus will be on the aesthetics and inspiration for your film while learning editing techniques.

Session 3: Final session to recap, helping students finalize and complete their project. This is the class to ask all final questions before the films are screen ready.
