There are some essential skills that help you get films made, like being able to network, pitch, collaborate, and generate ideas. As a filmmaker it’s invaluable to build a creative toolkit packed full of techniques and tactics that can enhance your career.

In this hands-on workshop you’ll practice these skills with a small group of fellow filmmakers. You’ll also learn ways to get early feedback, quickly redraft ideas, embrace constraints, be more confident and experience the creative benefits of starting before you’re ready. It will be fast, fun and mind-bending - in a good way!

Your enthusiastic facilitator is independent writer/director/producer, Kylie Eddy. She’s coached hundreds of filmmakers in these techniques and developed the Lean Filmmaking method - a new way to make films with creativity at its heart.

This workshop is open to all, including writers, directors, actors, editors, cinematographers and any other crew looking to supercharge their creativity. Emerging filmmakers also welcome. Spaces are limited to 24, so book now!
