These workshops were an excellent introduction to filmmaking. They were fun and informative. I now have the tools and information I need to continue learning and growing. Best of all....I am so excited to use these skills with the kids. 
  • Filmmaking for Teachers - In this hands-on workshop, learn the basic visual ideas that transform a movie from good to great. These skills are important for teachers to understand both to document the great work they do in their own classrooms and to pass on to their students. Visual and media literacy are vital skills for the next generation and this workshop is a great first step in helping teachers become more literate in these areas themselves.
  • Empowering Critical Relationships with Media - Learn how to help direct students towards engaging with all media in a way that is creative and connected and inspires critical thinking and self awareness. This discussion-based workshop begins by encouraging participants to examine and share their own relationships with popular media to help determine what are the healthiest and most productive ways to engage with our mediated culture, and then to determine ways to model this for students.
  • Building a Student Run Video Production Company - Rough Cut Productions is a financially self sustaining video production company run by students in a public inner-city high school. Learn about the triumphs and struggles of the program over the last five years, and get ideas for starting your own video program with little or no financially support.
  • Copyright and Fair Use in the Classroom - Copyright is not something to fear. Become more comfortable answering copyright questions within your own work and your students'. This workshop will provide a basic understanding of copyright and the exemptions to copyright that exist for teachers including the principle of "fair use."
