Personal Project
Use all of the skills you’ve gained to create your own film festival entry!
Join Fresh Films in Chicago for in-depth filmmaking training that will prepare you for future creative positions as a videographer, Youtuber, editor, producer – or anything in between!
Starting November 14, weekly training sessions take place on Thursday evenings and will take you through the basics of narrative & unscripted filmmaking as well as video editing. And this spring, we will work with you to create and submit your own film project into a national film festival!
This experience will qualify you to come on set in the summer of 2020 for a hands-on week-long apprenticeship on a film or TV set and a paid part-time internship in film and media with a local company.
No prior filmmaking experience required and the program is free to participants.
