Learn to create a 10-minute short film with intentional visual structure.You've made 2-3 short films. They're watchable—the story works, the performances are there. But when you watch them back, something feels off. They don't look like the films you admire.The problem isn't your camera or your budget. It's that your films lack visual structure.The result? Coverage that feels flat. Shots that record the action but don't shape how the audience experiences it.What You'll LearnHere's what most filmmakers don't realize:<ul><li>A 24mm lens doesn't just show more of the room—it changes spatial relationships and makes a character feel isolated or overwhelmed.</li><li>Camera placement isn't about finding a "good angle"—it's about perspective, power dynamics, and emotional distance.</li><li>Where you place focus doesn't just create sharpness—it directs the audience's attention and reveals priorities.</li><li>How you divide the frame—foreground vs background, negative space, leading lines—tells the audience where to look, what matters, and how characters relate to each other.</li></ul>By the end, you'll shoot a 10-minute short film that doesn't just tell a story—it looks and feels like the films you've always admired.

Founding Live Workflow Lab — September 2026

AI is becoming part of everyday work, but using it well requires more than knowing which tool or prompt to use.For experienced professionals, the harder questions are often: What should I delegate to AI? What still needs my judgment? What should I verify? What am I still accountable for? And is this way of working strengthening my expertise—or slowly replacing parts of it I still need?In this practical workshop, you’ll bring one real workflow, decision, client deliverable, communication, or recurring task from your own work.Together, we’ll examine where AI adds genuine value, where human judgment and context remain essential, where rework or risk may be hiding, and how to redesign the workflow with clearer roles for both you and AI.You’ll leave with a practical Human + AI Workflow Map you can use again as the technology and your work continue to change.This is not a tools class. We work on your actual work.
