INDIE FILM WEEKEND INTENSIVE - 7/18 - 7/20/25
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 - 3 weeks after weekend intensive). Acting sessions are taught by Acting Coach Tess Kirsch and the shorts are shot by seasoned filmmaker Thom Kuo and produced by 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
