Our program is for filmmakers who have the passion to devote themselves to full-time filmmaking. The program requires filmmakers to commit themselves to a focused and demanding curriculum for a full month. Previous filmmaking experience is required. However, participants must be prepared to work with self-discipline, energy and mutual respect.

This program is interdisciplinary, hands-on, and demanding. Filmmakers are treated as Producers throughout the duration of the program, and are challenged at each step of the way.

Even if you never plan to direct anything, you need to know how directors carry out their visions. As a producer you will need to create production environments that enhance each director’s skills and provide the support needed to make the best possible film or television show. Here you’ll learn about using the camera and working with actors — the two central tools of any director. In hands-on sessions you will break down a short script into a shooting plan and direct a scene with actors on digital video. You will have the opportunity to edit the scene and present it at your final studio meeting.

The person who gets “final cut” has the final creative say on which scenes, shots, and even characters will stay in the released version of the film and which end up on the “cutting room floor.” Only a handful of directors, like Steven Spielberg and Woody Allen, are powerful enough to get “final-cut on their films. Most directors work with the editor to offer the producer a “Director’s Cut” early on in Post Production. From then on it is up to the producer to ask for changes and ultimately decide when the film is finished. In order to take on this responsibility, you will learn the basic principles of editing and put them into practice on Final Cut Pro. You can edit the scene from Directing Class or edite “dailies” from a feature film. This workshop will help prepare you to make intelligent suggestions and decisions when you get “final cut.”

FINISHED PRODUCT: The producers that have the best films will receive a studio deal to work for Impersonable Studios. We have thousands of producers who sign up each year. We pic 13 of the best up and coming producers each year to work with Impersonable Studios.
