Back by popular demand! The Thrifty Filmmaker is happening every Tuesday from August 17th to September 7th. Become a filmmaker with everyday tools!


Thanks to great advancements in everyday technology, we have the ability to make professional-level content on-the-go. Camera lenses in our smartphones are so advanced and we can produce quality videos without the need for expensive equipment and quickly share footage directly to social media.

This 4-week course will guide you through your short film on a budget. Students will learn the basics of film making and how to apply the different techniques to create a short film using your smartphone. We will explore the best microphones, and lens choices, lighting tools, and video camera and video editing apps.

Cost: This workshop is PWYC by donation (with a minimum donation of $40 to register).
