Summer Youth Filmmaking Workshop 2008

Thanks to a generous grant from the San Luis Obispo County Community Foundation's
Holser Educational Fund for the Performing Arts, the SLOIFF is excited to offer a
two-week filmmaking workshop for young people grades 3-12.

July 14 - 24 - Monday thru Thursday for two weeks

Grades 3-6 meet from 9:00am to 12:00pm with instructor, Aaron Metchik.
Grades 7-9 meet from 1:00pm - 4:00pm with instructor, Aaron Metchik.
Grades 10-12 meet from 6:00pm - 9:00pm with instructor, Alan Fraser.

The two-week (eight day) comprehensive workshop will teach the basics of filmmaking by forming a 'film crew' to produce a short film that will be screened on the final day of the workshop and
at the 2009 San Luis Obispo International Film Festival.

INSTRUCTORS

Aaron Metchik is a UCLA film school graduate with nearly a decade of experience writing, directing and producing short films. In the summer of 2007, Aaron directed his first professional feature length feature film, which is currently in post production in Los Angeles. The son of a passionate teacher, Aaron enjoys mentoring others and has taught classes and workshops about filmmaking, music video production, and acting at high schools, middle schools and elementary schools. He teaches an ongoing acting class in Shell Beach, one for young students and one for adults, and looks forwards to having another opportunity to teach young people about filmmaking, and help them develop their talents.

Alan Fraser teaches video production and photography at Arroyo Grande High School in the Regional Occupation Program. He also teaches film courses at Allan Hancock College. His film Next Time won best picture awards at the Hollywood and Long Beach Film Festivals. It was released by Vanguard Entertain on DVD. His script, The Processional was a semi-finalist for the Nichol Fellowship.

The location of the workshop will be in San Luis Obispo but the exact venue will be announced soon.
