THE INDIE SERIES w/ Award winning Filmmaker – Jason Chaet

From the basics of storytelling, to exploring the creative ingredients required to take your project from conception to development, to demystifying the director’s process, The Indie Series is a set of three classes inspired by the Independent Filmmaking process, and designed to lead any aspiring filmmaker from conception to execution.

Taught by award winning filmmaker, Jason Chaet (Seneca, Putzel), The Indie Series is a great class for any early career or veteran professional. You can register to each class individually or for the entire series! Please know that some classes have pre-existent requirements.

Ep. 1 – STORY AND STRUCTURE

Using a variety of popular culture examples, this fun and collaborative discussion winds its way through the basic principles of modern storytelling and three act structure. This workshop is great for anyone that is interested in creating their own work, improving their story analysis skills or just wants to gain more insight into how stories work.

This class is via ZOOM. The event will start off with a small introduction by AMCP, followed by the workshop led by Jason. Be prepared to offer feedback and discuss different topics as Jason shares invaluable information.
