The world of filmmaking, independent or otherwise, is constantly evolving. Recent technological advances in the area of digital video and affordable non-linear computer editing software have begun to blur the lines between what is considered "film" or "video". The advantage to everyone -from consumer user to independent film producer - is simple: higher quality and lower cost for the basic tools required to produce a quality moving image. The Digital Filmmaking Workshops provide a series of courses designed to shed light on the "mysteries" of video and film produdction, as well as provide a unique perspective on how to approach your next project.

While the affordability and availability of equipment is ever-increasing, there still remains a need for understanding of the sometimes complex issues surrounding media production. Whether you're making a full-length feature independent film or are creating a documentary video, there is much more than just having the right gear at your disposal. From the creative process on down, there are hundreds of small details that separate a great idea from a finished masterpiece.
