Audition Hell – Last day to register!
$100 – ACTRA (full members & apprentices)

Mr. Skagen will run through the etiquette of a casting call so you
can learn what not to do in an audition. For example you should never
shake hands with the casting director, among other things. You will
also learn how to master your slate, make your scene audition

Tax Credits and Budgeting Workshop
Saturday, May 25th | 10 am – 5 pm | $75
Filmmaking is a true blend of business and creativity and making a film
takes more than just picking up a camera and shooting a scene. More
than anything they may encounter on set, one of the most baffling
questions facing a filmmaker has more to do with raising funds and
how to handle the ensuing tax credit application. This one-day
workshop with Colleen Alksnis will aim to answer as many of the
questions you already have and the ones you haven’t even thought of yet.

The Essential Questions of Script Development will give participants
the tools they need to read analytically and identify a clear path

to strengthen the story in a way that will satisfy the intended audience.
