NEW WORKSHOP If you’ve ever wanted to know exactly how a documentary is made with a skeleton crew, this one-afternoon workshop is for you!

On May 9 join filmmaker Bill Holman (), along with the co-owners of Pittsburgh-based production company —Chris Delp (editor/colorist) and Joe Serkoch (commercial, television, and documentary producer)—for an in-depth look at the making of their documentary short.

This workshop explores the complete filmmaking process—from the first spark of inspiration to the final cut. Attendees will get a rare behind-the-scenes look at the physical and creative decisions that shape a project.

The session, perfect for both beginning filmmakers and those with documentary experience, will be interactive and discussion-driven, with opportunities to explore how these lessons might apply to your own films.

Saturday, May 9 1:00-4:00 / $25
