Yes, You! Intro to Film Directing Class + Mentorship
Fresh Eye Gallery
4238 Nicollet Ave, Minneapolis, MN
The 6 class sessions will provide a warm and accessible introduction to filmmaking through the lens of narrative film directing and directing casts & crews. The curriculum will adapt to the participants, but in general provide tools, information, and healthy film practices, as well as community support for the emotional challenges of claiming leadership and powerful roles. This class is the first of its kind, offered through Moonplay Cinema, conceived by Simone LeClaire, and is a FREE opportunity for gender marginalized people including trans people of all genders, nonbinary people, and women.
No previous experience in film is needed. Some previous experience in film is good too!
