Rockstone's 2-Day Filmmakers Workshop Tour comes to Washington DC

April 18, 2011 - PRLog -- After a short hiatus, the Rockstone Foundation is happy to announce the launch of its 2011 2-Day Filmmakers Workshop tour. Now in its 9th year, the program features a FREE FRIDAY NIGHT NETWORKING RECEPTION in each city on the tour.  The tour is designed to help the nascent independent filmmaker and actor achieve their goals by providing valuable training and information during this intensive two-day course, right in their home town. These intense eight-hour workshops are held on weekends and cover Cinema Acting, Directing, Screenwriting, Producing, and Self-Distribution. Participants receive sound instruction using visual aids, demonstrations and class exercises, and also take home a copy of Rockstone's new Filmmakers Handbook. From idea to marketing and distribution, aspiring and emerging filmmakers will receive a realistic picture of the art and business of making movies.

“The RFI Filmmakers Workshop has put me on the right track to tangibly realizing my dream of filmmaking while before it was only a dream. The facilitators were very candid and gave us a realistic view of the obstacles and triumphs associated with urban filmmaking. I would highly recommend this workshop to others as the first step before breaking into the film industry.” --T. M. Peeples | Filmmakers
Workshop | Atlanta
