Personal Filmmaking [Virtual]

Dro Watson, a filmmaker and film professor from Florida will be teaching Personal Filmmaking. These 4-week sessions will take place from 4/6 to 4/27.

Dro is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist and educator who makes everything from feature length documentaries to video art installations to puppets and animation. Dro’s films have been screened nationally and internationally, and her installations have been shown in galleries and shows around Florida.

In Personal Filmmaking, students will learn about alternate modes of filmmaking that emphasize personal narratives, available resources, and connection with the viewer. Students will be studying the work of filmmakers who work in this style, and build upon their ideas and methods. The instructor will also be sharing her own philosophies with regards to filmmaking and how to create more personal films, be they narrative or documentary, feature-length or short form. Students will be led through making their own personal narrative short film during this series.

All you will need is yourself and a phone camera, but access to any additional equipment is great. 

At the end of this 4-week series, students will have made their own personal short film, which can be submitted for a community screening. All student submissions from this series will be accepted. 

VIRTUAL CLASS. Offered online via videoconference. We will send you a link the day of the class.
