Workshop Descriptions

It takes an entire team to produce a film. This large and diverse workshop explores all the aspects of film production including actors, grips, camera operators, production managers and directors. Sign up for filmmakers workshops.
Production Design:
Learn the ins and outs of production design including props, costumes, set pieces and makeup. Collaborating with the screenwriters and filmmakers, this workshop will construct, fabricate, or create whatever is necessary for the specific scene being filmed.

Directors:
Our directors will oversee the filmmakers group. However, they will need to be put through an interview process and vetted by our JUMP Team. The directors will also be in another position besides director on another team.
Directors will not be able to direct their own script. We will also have openings for assistant directors who will “apprentice” under the directors to teach them about directing skills.
