New York City, NY (PRWEB) July 13, 2012
Manhattan Edit Workshop (MEWshop) and theC47 are excited to announce The Filmmakers Intensive (TFMI), an annual two-week program that takes aspiring filmmakers out of their day-to-day environments and allows them to fully immerse themselves in the art and science of making movies. This year?s program is specifically designed to provide each student an intense education in non-fiction filmmaking from some of the best documentarians in the industry.
Co-produced by theC47 and MEWshop, TFMI 2012 will take place in the heart of New York City from August 6th through August 17th. The program will include craft-based training and Master Classes from world-renowned documentary filmmakers such as Chuck Workman, Susan Froemke and David Zieff all of whom have taught for many years and bring an unmatched passion and knowledge of the industry to the classroom.
Led by Jem Schofield, Josh Apter and a team of expert teachers, students will learn shooting, lighting, recording location sound, editing, and more through hands-on instruction in week one of TFMI. In week two, students apply their newly acquired technical expertise and work together to produce and direct their own documentary films, as well as edit and screen their final cuts at the end of the program.
The program also includes practical sessions with master trainers in camera work, scouting locations, pre-production, shooting and conducting interviews, paper editing, and post-production from logging footage to final delivery.
The Filmmakers Intensive is a completely unique program that was designed to give creative people from all over the world the opportunity to learn the process of documentary filmmaking in a completely immersive environment, says Jem Schofield, founder and co-director of The Filmmakers Intensive and TheC47. Its purpose is to help people understand and then apply the principles of directing, cinematography and editing. The instructors are picked not only because of their experience, but because they are great educators. This gives people a chance to go to film school when they may have not had that opportunity in the past.
This is a chance for filmmakers of all shapes and sizes to really plug into the art of storytelling through film, says Josh Apter, founder, Manhattan Edit Workshop and co-director of The Filmmakers Intensive. In just two weeks, students get the real-world filmmaking experience they need to succeed, but in an environment where they can also learn as they go along. Plus, theyll leave with an expanded portfolio and a much larger network of peers and professionals.
Echoing the immense value of the program is former Filmmakers Intensive student Angus Oborn. As completely satisfying as the course was, the greatest pleasures came later. When I walked onto the set of my first big shoot after TFMI, it was incredibly reassuring to know how it all functioned, so I could concentrate on shooting great work,? says Oborn. ?The payoff has been huge not only in terms of raw knowledge, but also in gaining the confidence to take on jobs that only months ago seemed beyond my reach. I can?t imagine how else I would?ve gotten up to speed so quickly.
The Filmmakers Intensive will take place from August 6th through August 17th in New York City, at Production Central NYC and the Manhattan Edit Workshop headquarters.
