Find hidden talent among your charismatic  friends and turn it into a film or TV show. Do you know some funny, quirky or amazing people you know would be great on camera?

Develop a script, plan a schedule and use the professional equipment to turn your dream of becoming a director into reality.

A new workshop is scheduled at Berkeley Community Media to learn how to write, produce or direct a low budget short film. It’s taught by Gini Graham Scott who has  produced over four dozen low-budget films and written a book about it available at Amazon.

The whole production can happen at BCM and it’s easy. Do some workshops and start using professional video equipment including HD cameras and sign up for the shooting and editing studios.

  • Documentary
  • Drama
  • Sci-Fi
  • Horror
  • Comedy/Satire

All these genres are available to you only limited by your imagination!

It’s a two day workshop happening on May 5th and 12th at 9am-noon. Sign up at the BCM website, facebook fanpage or visit us in person here.
