This project provides a team of filmmakers with the opportunity to maximize their creativity while minimizing the ability to reshoot. Through this project, filmmakers will learn to effectively and efficiently shoot on a limited reel of film stock, and in the process, must focus on the fundamentals of filmmaking. Join us for a discussion with Camilo Diaz, Crystal Jin Kim, Brian Lonano, and Angelica Perez-Castro as they talk about their individual experiences participating in the program and shooting on film.
