Do you love the power of cinema and have something to say? Script to Screen, Ng? Aho Whakaari and PIFT present the 2018 South Auckland Short Film Workshop - a free two-day workshop to learn the art of making short films; from developing ideas to writing and directing for the big screen. Whether you're new to filmmaking or experienced, all aspiring South Auckland filmmakers, storytellers and creatives can attend this filmmaking workshop. Experts Michael Bennett (In Dark Places, Matariki), Sima Urale (O Tamaiti), Aidee Walker (Westside) and Nikki Si'ulepa (Snow In Paradise) will guide you, and you'll learn where strong cinematic ideas come from, the principles of how to write a short film, the role of the director and ideas about how to get your short film off the ground. Participants from this workshop will be invited to apply for Script to Screen's South Shorts Mentorship Programme 2019. This workshop is recommended for ages 17+ and is intended for people who either live in South Auckland or have a connection with the area.
