The San Luis Obispo International Film Festival is once again offering summer filmmaking workshops to budding young filmmakers. From August 5 -16, one and two week workshops will be guided by professional filmmakers, giving participants a hands-on learning experience as they create live action or animated short films from initial concept to finished film.
The SLOIFF began offering summer workshops for young people in the summer of 2008. In 2011, claymation and stop animation workshops were added and were an instant hit. This summer, two one-week workshops will be offered again, taught by Santa Barbara filmmaker, Jody Nelson.
Professional photographer, teacher and filmmaker, Alan Fraser, will teach a two-week, half day, workshop on live action film production, with participants getting hands-on experience in all aspects of making a movie. The final films in all workshops will be screened for parents and friends before the “wrap party” at their conclusion.
For information about all workshops and to register, please follow this link, or call (805) 546-FILM. There are a limited number of half-tuition scholarships available and all skill levels are welcome. The workshops will be held in downtown San Luis Obispo in a location to be announced soon.
