FOR A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS...OR LESS:LOW BUDGET DIGITAL MOVIE-MAKING WITH LEWIS TEAGUE
"I've always been frustrated with the size of movie crews – The Jewel of the Nile had a crew of over 400 – and how that size inhibits creativity. One of the director’s daily problems is to overcome inertia. The heavier the freight train, the harder it is to get it moving. I wanted to see how fast, creative and energetic I could be." — Lewis Teague

This past fall veteran film and television director Lewis Teague (Navy Seals, Cujo) set out to make his first short, testing an assignment he gives film students: Recreate an emotional experience in a fictional setting. He wanted to see how simply and inexpensively he could make a movie using all digital technology and Internet resources available to today’s no-budget filmmaker. He also wanted to question all the conventional beliefs about how a movie should be made and how it impacts crew, cast and budget. The result is Cante Jondo, a music-infused Spanish-language drama about two gypsy brothers in Barcelona. Join us for a screening of this new short and Lewis Teague’s up-close and personal insights into what is exciting and different about filmmaking today. From script and budget to shooting and editing, this primer promises to shed light on do-it-yourself digital filmmaking, especially for anyone with limited resources who wants to tell a personal story.

MASTERWORKS CLIPS & CONVERSATION: THE ART OF FILM EDITING

Whether you love or make movies, this forum is designed to enhance your film-going experience. Angels in America, As Good as it Gets, The Big Chill, Broadcast News, Capote, Crouching Tiger, Grand Canyon, Hidden Dragon, E.T., The Godfather, Part II, Gosford Park, Sense and Sensibility...with a staggering number (nearly 150) of studio and independent features and documentaries to their collective credit, our confirmed guests include Ron Bochar, Carol Littleton, Richard Marks and Tim Squyres.
