MANSFIELD, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—Aspiring young filmmakers aged 14 to 16 in the Mansfield area are in for a thrilling opportunity as Leapyear Studios Film School prepares to launch an exciting eight-week class aimed at teaching the fundamental skills of film production. Hosted at the Richland Academy of the Arts, this creative endeavor kicks off on Friday, October 20, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The program, aptly titled “Film-Craft Basics,” promises to be an engaging and hands-on experience for teens eager to explore the world of cinema. What sets this course apart is its unique approach to learning – students will work in a round-robin style, rotating through different crew positions while actively participating in the creation of a short film.
What’s more, the theme of the project is bound to capture the imagination of every participant: a high school-themed comedy inspired by the iconic “GHOSTBUSTERS.” Under the guidance of industry professionals, Jennifer Enskat and Andy Gardner, students will have the chance to immerse themselves in the magic of film production.
Jennifer Enskat, a multi-talented figure in the film industry, brings her experience as an actor, director, and award-winning editor and producer to the class. On the other hand, Andy Gardner, an Emmy and Film Festival Award-Winning Cinematographer with over three decades of experience in film and television, will provide invaluable insights into the technical aspects of cinematography.
The course will equip young filmmakers with the essential knowledge to operate the gear, understand industry terminology, and navigate the intricacies of the production process. But rest assured, learning the art and craft of filmmaking will be anything but dull. This class is not just informative; it’s guaranteed to be a lot of fun.
