The Hunter’s own Real Film Festival (RFF) is back for a 5th year and organisers are set to host a bumper series of industry workshops and Q&A events to inspire and motivate young or emerging talent.
The RFF workshops are a great way for young emerging talent to connect with industry leaders, Festival Organiser, Annette Hubber said.
“These workshops provide incredible opportunities for young, emerging or even established filmmakers to learn from the best,” Ms Hubber said.
“Four emerging students who participated in last year’s workshops are now working within the industry after making connections with their presenters at the festival.”
The skills development workshops are run by some of the industry’s best practitioners and include topics like: ‘script writing, ‘editing’ and ‘acting for screen’ through to ‘sound design’ and ‘special effects makeup’.
The workshops give participants the tools and knowledge to help them create their next film project and keep abreast of current trends with workshops like ‘introduction to game design’, iPhone cinematography’ plus ‘social media and other online successes’.
There are 10 workshops and a Panel Discussion with some of the industry’s most respected practitioners scheduled for Friday 28 October.
Workshops will be held at Newcastle Film and Media School in Hunter St, and a workshop day pass is available.
