35mm Filmmaking BootCamp

A 35mm film production "Bootcamp“, is scheduled for May 14 - June 15, 2007. It was created and designed by Tom Gregor who has been Professor (and program director) at the Prague Film & Television Academy of Performing Arts, as well as the Tisch School of the Arts in New York(NYU).

Now available in Toronto, (closer and less expensive), the workshop program invites applications from qualified students or emerging professionals with serious aspirations in the directing and/or cinematographic aspects of filmmaking. Toronto has a robust filmmaking community and infrastructure, not to mention an exciting cultural environment, including of course, the Toronto International Film Festval.

Participants will receive hands-on training in 35mm film production (widescreen) while gaining work experience in the roles of Director or DP(and something to show at the end). You will be professionally mentored and will have a support crew of fellow students.

The workshop begins with screenplay development, moves through pre-production, a hands on camera workshop, 35mm production and postproduction (online).

All in just 5 weeks!

Therefore a deep passion for filmmaking is necessary for you to survive this challenging program (that’s why we call it Bootcamp). Deadlines are tough and demanding, as they are in the real film business. With a limit of 20 applicants, you will at the end of this workshop, screen 10 films (shot on locations) in an on line stage, with non-synchronous sound mix (music, sfx, VO only) and will receive a certificate of graduation from TPI upon course completion. You will also take with you a finished DVD of your completed project as well the film originals if you wish.

Pre-requisite: Basic Filmmaking knowledge (Film or TV) or 16mm film experience.*

Students must submit two short film treatments along with their application form. A non-refundable registration fee $250 CAD is required(upon acceptance) no later than March 31st, 2007. If accepted, the full fee of $4,850 CAD must be recieved by April 30th 2007.
