ASCF FILM CLUB and TKA studio announce a wonderfully creative collaboration - an on-set, 16 mm/35 mm weekend film intensive that includes both an acting class as well as an INDIE FILM SET EXPERIENCE. Actors will work on a real set with a real crew and receive an MPEG-4 copy of their professional FILM footage after its been edited (1 - 2 weeks after weekend intensive). Acting sessions are taught by Acting Coach Tess Kirsch and the set is directed by Jack Meggers and shot by seasoned filmmaker Thom Kuo and the wonderful Jessi Spickard.
How does it work?
Once you enroll, a staff writer will write a scene for you. We will then meet as a group on Friday night and Jessi will go over your call sheet. At your scheduled rehearsal time, Tess Kirsch will rehearse this scene with you (Friday night/Saturday morning). You will then shoot this scene in 16 mm/35 mm with Jack Meggers, Thom Kuo and Jessi Spickard. The shoot will be run as if you are truly on set and are working with a crew/cast. Jessi will also discuss the differences between shooting digitally and shooting on 16 mm/35 mm film.
***Film will then be edited and you will receive an MPEG-4 file or ProRes file if preferred
TYPE UP THAT POP UP
Casting Associate Kathleen Parker and I will be offering 1/2 hour sessions with actors on February 1 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Kathleen will be sending sides specifically for each actor for our session after reviewing your Actors Access profiles. Actors then come to the studio to work their "type" materials in a MOCK audition format.
TO SCHEDULE: Pay for the POP up class on Venmo (@tess-Kirsch) and I will then send the online calendar. The POP UP will be held from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Cost of POP UP Class: $75 per half hour - payable by Venmo only
