Sundays
October through May
Our Film Workshop is offered annually and is open to all Bay Area students, from late middle school through college. Each year, new students are introduced to the fundamentals of professional filmmaking while returning students refine and deepen their skills.
The workshop acts as producer, helping students to build a portfolio of work that will help them get into film schools and develop a foundation of skills – looking, seeing, thinking, doing - that will serve them throughout their careers.
The Film Workshop is offered for a fee of $2,000, non-refundable. Students who demonstrate skill and dedication can apply for need based scholarships. Students will need a digital camera with a manual adjustment option, though a cell phone camera can be used for the first assignments.
For more information, or to apply, visit filmworkshopsf.org.
A Summer Film Intensive is offered in July. This 9-day program encapsulates the first 3 months of our Film Workshop instruction, including an overview of film history and a group film production, beginning with developing ideas and writing scripts through production and editing.
“Ronald Chase has created teaching tools that include a series of excellent videos that teach filmmaking in the context of film history. He’s enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and a fine teacher — I highly recommend his classes.”
