Moviemaking; Brighton Beach Memoirs

Monday is already the first day of the two-week moviemaking workshop for adults 18 and older that North Dakota playwright Kathy King and I are doing at UND this month. It’s still not too late to register for either or both weeks, but space is very limited. More information is online at http://www.english.und.edu/moviemaking.htm. Sessions start at 6 pm each evening. May 12-13-14 will be the screenwriting portion, led by Kathy. The rest of the week students who are in both sessions can start planning how they will shoot the scripts they’ve just written. May 19 through 23, also at 6 pm nightly, I will go over production and postproduction basics, and students will shoot and edit scripts from the first week’s session. Completed movies will screen at the Empire Arts Center on Sunday afternoon, June 29, along with the movies created by the June UND moviemaking camp for teens (which will be held the afternoons of June 9-20).
