THE OFI CINEMA CLINICS - Summer 2012

This will be a series of four, three day clinics, and one five day clinic. The three day clinics will be held on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays for four weeks from June 7 - 30, except for the Cinematography clinic that will be held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday June 25, 26, and 27. The clinics will cover::

  • Motion Picture Production
  • Script Writing
  • Directing
  • Cinematography
  • Editing

and will be held this summer in June.

Note : There may be an additional course added by May, that will run for 6 days from June 27-July 2, in which participants will produce and shoot a short movie. The cost for this clinic will be $500.

In previous years, OFI had been a three week course of full immersion in the film making process, but the last three years it was designed as clinics, to let people enter the areas of filmmaking that interested them; requiring less time and tuition. Due to its success, we are repeating that format again this year.
