Welcome
So you want to be creative?  This is your opportunity to shine behind the scenes as well as on.  You are the screenwriter,director, editor, producer and actor, so let's make a short film!
 

Your Mission
If you choose to accept it, will be create your own ametuer feature film. Avail yourself of the film school and screenwriting sites on the teacher page. Sign on to Eejit's 10-minute film school and learn how to format your original script.  Get some useful tips on cameras from the cyberfilm school site. Shoot your film--edit, and welcome to Sundance, California!
 

Project Requirements
Your film must be divided using the 3-act structure and the dual column format.  You are to storyboard your script to death before you ever start filming--remember Alfred Hitchcock (one of the most significant directors of our time) said that he drew his film in such detail that he found the actual cinematography anticlimactic.
