SINGAPORE: If you've always wanted to make a movie, here’s your chance. We’re not talking funny home videos here — we’re talking about playing with the big boys.
In a first for Singapore, the Motion Picture Association (MPA) from America, with the support of the Singapore Film Commission, is organising a film production workshop next month for film students.
In two days of intensive lectures and case-study exercises, participants will cover topics including pitching techniques, script writing, storyboarding, as well as the business aspects of film-making. The most outstanding student will be offered an opportunity to intern with MediaCorp Raintree Pictures.
The workshop will be led by Hollywood film-makers Ira Deutchman (chief executive of emerging pictures and associate professor in the graduate film division at Columbia University), Ramon Menendez (writer-director of Stand and Deliver) and Tom Musca (writer-producer of Stand and Deliver).
Additionally, local film producer Daniel Yun (CEO of MediaCorp Raintree Pictures) and Australian TV producer Stephen Jenner will also share Singaporean and Australian perspectives in film and TV production.
MPA Film Production Workshop 2008 takes place on Nov 11 and 12 from 9am to 5.30pm at the National Library. All interested participants (must be film students aged 17 years and above) are required to submit a short description of their background in film or film studies, and one film idea detailing a concept or an area of interest.
