I recently invited you all to view the google calendar I have created for this course. It includes all of the deadlines and assignments as well as a few details about what we will be doing in class. You can also find a version of the calendar embedded on this blog.
If you have a gmail account that you'd like me to share the calendar with, please let me know!
We will also be using google drive to store production and assignment documents in the future.
Below is a text version of the course schedule. This schedule is subject to change, pending the schedules of the actors that will be coming in. I anticipate that all due dates for assignments and productions will remain the same.
There will be 5 groups with 6 films each. Each group with have their own due dates and production schedule. Please look this over and get an idea of what group works best for your film. Try to have a top 3. Not everyone will get their first pick.
ALSO PLEASE NOTE: attending the casting call on Saturday, Sept. 7th is mandatory. Please make sure your personal schedule is clear!
Details about each assignment are coming soon!
