afilm offers a 3 month English language Feature Film Production Design/ Art Direction Program, where a very limited number of students shoot a digital feature film. From February through April, students form a practical workshop, where they collectively shoot a digital feature film, forming part of the Art Department of a feature film.
February: Production Design Theory/ Practical exercises
March: Preproduction of the Digital Feature Film
April: SHOOT A DIGITAL FEATURE FILM
The course will necessarily be very intense, designed for the student with previous cinema studies who wishes to complement their education with a hands-on, professional feature film experience.
The workshop will be lead by Mirko Von Berner, (Production Designer), and Nancy Jack (Art Director). Mirko, a sculptor as well as a painter, after having studied Visual Arts at the ENAP (Nation School of Plastic Arts), has acquired more than 25 years of creative experience in the audio visual industry, having worked in films and advertising in Mexico, USA and Spain. He has worked with directors, in the following productions, such as Julian Schnabel (Before Night Falls), James L. Brooks (Spanglish), Martin Campbell (The Mask of Zorro), Arturo Ripstein (Principio y Fin), amongst many others. Nancy, a graduate of the Glasgow School of Arts, has worked extensively for BBC TV and Nickelodeon UK, as well as having taught at the Royal Holloway, University of London.
At the end of the experience, each student will have acquired practical, professional filmmaking knowledge, professional feature film experience for their cv, and a career plan.
LANGUAGE: English
*To qualify for the Program, it is required that all students have previous film education and/or experience, as the workshop is necessarily very intense, geared completely towards the creation of a feature film. We would request that all those interested submit their resume and/or reels (shorts, etc). The working language is English; a basic knowledge of English is also required.
