Students will develop basic skills with all aspects of the filmmaking process. 
This course also fulfills several common core and state standards, please reach out if you will need these. 

Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a second assistant director and production assistant on a couple of independent films. I wrote and directed my own short film in my studies at a summer film program at USC. 

Students are expected to show up each week with the previous week's work completed. If you need extra support with any of these lessons, I will provide a discount code to my related one-time classes, feedback on submitted work, or links to informational videos. 

Assessment will occur regularly through activities embedded within lessons, on homework and on the final short-film project. 

There will also be informal check-ins where I assess the status of the class and determine if everyone is ready to move on. I will use these check ins to inform partnerships. 

No live meetings, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.

I have used my own experience and the following sites to plan this course:
