Training Opportunity

I fear this will be the first of many training opportunities I shall be noting on this blog that will be bypassing the Sunshine Coast altogether. 

A 2-day course for Independent and aspiring filmmakers, writers, directors and producers, exploring the craft of filmmaking and the art of being a film director is being run in Cape Town on June 13/14 and in Joburg on June 27/28.

The blurb claims it's a great training ground for candidate film directors, actors and screenwriters who want to pursue a career in filmmaking, and that it "also gives scholars and students the opportunity to make a competent choice in a career decision in the film and television industries; and to develop their independent film projects."

Our challenge in the Eastern Cape?
  1. To collectively hire a bus to get local filmmakers to those workshops and
  2. To get enough interested people together so that this course could be run in NMB
