About

Local filmmakers from a variety of genres and styles share their work and discuss their experiences making shorts, music videos and commercials in Seattle; from building a community of collaborators to how they’ve approached micro and larger budget projects. We’ll screen one project from each filmmaker, walk the audience through its production and the different approaches, and answer any questions. Supplementary materials (shot lists, story boards, production schedules, etc.) available to anyone interested in how to organize their projects.
