Producing: First Features

(2 Credits)

This course is designed to provide graduate film students with an understanding of the independent feature filmmaking process through screenings of a director’s first feature film followed by in depth conversation with invited guests. Via assigned readings and a series of conversations we will touch upon different aspects of the filmmaking process. Students are expected to draw from their learnings in other graduate level classes such as The Business of Creative Producing, Developing the Treatment for Feature Films and Directing IV: Director’s Cut amongst others while engaging with the invited guests. Active class participation is expected and reflection papers will be due as noted.
