Overview of class
In the winter quarter of this full-year sequence, students will exercise and synthesize previously-acquired filmmaking skills as director of a short film made on the professional low-budget independent model. In anticipation of students' filmmaking pursuits after graduation, they will further develop and observe their own particular methods of narrative filmmaking production, so as to aid in the self-presentation and planning necessary to work in this field.
