LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

In July, 10 talented creatives joined the Moving Picture Institute in Los Angeles for our second annual cinematography workshop, Moving Picturecraft. During this workshop, filmmakers learned how to use advanced lighting and framing techniques to successfully achieve their artistic intentions and advance their ideas. 

Directed by Ben Gaskell, ASC, and produced by MPI’s director of talent development, Lana Link, the workshop’s key instructors included Adam Caso, ASC (Reindeer Games, 6 Feet Under); Nancy Schreiber, ASC (Miss Virginia, Better Things); Peter Moss, ASC (House of Lies, Ray Donovan); and Adam Frisch, FSF. These industry experts guided students through hands-on assignments and demonstrated how the cinematographer’s processes can make or break a film.

“As a director with over eight years of professional work and I have participated in such prestigious programs like the AFI directing workshop for women. This cinematography workshop offered me an opportunity of professional growth that I hitherto have not received. Thank you!” – Workshop attendee
