Slamdance Film Festival Workshop with President Peter Baxter
Friday, May 4, at 1:30 p.m. in the Cloobeck Screening Room, DMAC, Peter Baxter, Co-Founder and President of Slamdance Film Festival, will present a workshop to students.
This workshop is based on the experiences of Slamdance alumni who have built sustainable careers through DIY filmmaking. It’s the core curriculum for Slamdance Polytechnic and provides a real-world overview of current DIY filmmaking. The main objective is to help emerging filmmakers prepare for their creative life and provides practical guidance to young filmmakers who want to produce and gain recognition for their work without permission or fear of failure.
The workshop references festival discoveries Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Trilogy), Marc Forster (Monster’s Ball), Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite), Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity), Tina Mabry (Black Jesus), Benh Zeitlin (Beasts of the Southern Wild), Rian Johnson (Star Wars), Lynn Shelton (Humpday), The Russo Brothers (Avengers: Infinity War), Matt Johnson (Operation Avalanche) and Lena Dunham (Girls).
