Hey all, just to let you know, there will be alot of filmmakers in the front part of the MakerSpace on Sunday.
If you have ever seen these events on the calendar and wanted to know what’s up. In detail! Keep reading.
We have been hosting two types of events at the MakerSpace. The most popular is the Flash Film contest. Everyone is invited to a flash film kickoff to read over 3-5 page scripts. They will then be put into teams and given 8 weeks to come back with a finished film. For about 20% of the participants in this event said this was their first film! So you can fit in too!
49 Filmmakers reading scripts on their phones last Sunday.
So this week several of those teams are working on putting their films together and makerspace members have set up rooms to audition actors to be in their films. If you are an acting type, I know that the comedy short film Popcorn Bandit is an open audition, so you can just show up and ask to audition. Events |Dallas Makerspace Calendar
In addition, I have also set up one hand’s on filmmaking event. This week Sunday at 1:00 PM we will invite the community to get together, divide into teams, and each make their own 1 minute silent film in 3 hours! So we called the event, Show Don’t Tell.
