REPEAT, but with "new stuff." In this fun class, each week you'll gain a better understanding of what it takes to bring a film from concept to distribution. Along the way, we’ll look at scripting, pitching, directing, producing, financing, casting, cinematography, production, post-production (editing, scoring, sound design, etc.) … and the skilled people who make it all possible. We’ll also view some edited interviews and behind-the-scenes featurettes from, for example, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," "Field of Dreams," "Interstellar," "Once Upon a Time in the West," "Apollo 13," "Alice," "Skyfall," "E.T."... plus some of YOUR favorites, upon request. Note to participants: Try to watch “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” a 1977 film by Stephen Spielberg, prior to the start of class – available from your public library or streaming service.
