I just finished teaching a 3-week summer film workshop in association with Looking Glass Arts. The workshop took a group of high school filmmakers and actors through a full production process: writing to storyboarding to shooting+ lighting to editing and scoring.
Everyone involved is pretty amazing - especially the student filmmakers who are an amazingly bright, talented, creative group of people.
Through and through, they made some wonderful short films. I loved working with them and hope they all stay in touch.
For anyone in the Boulder/Denver area who might be interested in future workshops, check out Looking Glass Arts’ website: lookingglassarts.org
