Our Advanced Digital Film Workshops is a two week experience and provides more intensive training in such areas as digital cinematography, camera direction, story telling, and editing and closely mirrors the college experience in film school. We believe in total emersion in creativity and nurture our participants to be creative while they are at workshop; whether it be in the classroom or in their dorms. The program is headed up by Michael Wohl and Myrl Schreibman two professionals who not only have written books on the subjects but who also bring the quality and expertise for which the UCLA School of Theater Film and Television is internationally known. Other faculty (based upon their availability) will be coming in from time to time to lend their expertise to the campers including Tom Denove who is the leading cinematographer in Los Angeles in digital cinematography. So if you are planning any one of the two sessions of this camp, make sure you come with stories you want to tell and images you would like to see.
