Film Workshops to take place throughout July at BYU-Idaho
Community members, students and faculty are invited to attend a student film workshop each Thursday in July from 5-7 p.m. in the Jacob Spori Building, room 71. Altone Viera, a Brigham Young Unversity-Idaho student who has taken film classes in New York, will be teaching the basic process for starting up a film project.
"Filmmaking is a beautiful craft that people don't get to see or experience hands-on everyday. I just want to give people a little sample of it," Viera said.
The workshop is sponsored by the Talent Exploration Board, a part of the BYU-Idaho Activities Council whose mission is to help students magnify their performance art skills.
Anyone who has a real interest in learning about film is asked to come and be a part of the workshop, community members included. Equipment will be provided as participants work on a film project as a group from start to finish.
"It's the only way to really learn how to make a film," Viera said, "to go from start to finish in a hands-on process. I want people to have fun as we learn about film."
For more information on this event, contact Viera at vie05002@byui.edu.
