Help Future Filmakers

The Media Education Alliance is looking for folks to help on the day of the first youth-targeted event, “Give Me Five” brought together by this collection of non-profit organizations. If you’ve been looking to help with an all-ages event, we could use volunteers on the day of this event to wrangle audience, take tickets, set up signs, hand out t-shirts, take pictures, give out programs, etc.

It’s a really fun group that’s putting this together, and RIFC is one of the sponsors. If you’re able to help on Saturday, May 9^th, please email us or Sherry Brown at sherry@arts.ri.gov. There will also be an optional planning meeting for volunteers Tuesday Night, April 28^th if you’d like more details.

The planning meeting and the event will both take place at Bishop Hendricken School. That’s at 2615 Warwick Ave, Warwick, RI. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=Bishop+Hendricken+High+School&fb=1&near=Warwick,+RI&cd=1&cid=0,0,4446317681716769415&li=lmd&z=14&t=m

Thank you!!

We have this message from URI Professor Chris Mensel… Dear RIFC, I teach screenwriting and film at URI (here’s my faculty link: http://www.uri.edu/artsci/film/facmen.htm) and wanted to get the word out that a CCE course, ENG 205D, in the discipline is being offered during the first Summer Session in Providence. below is a course description,

ENG 205D, an introductory course, will cover the ESSENTIALS OF SCREENWRITING from professional formatting to the proper use of elements such as scene headings, action, parentheticals, dialogue, and transitions among others. Through a WORKSHOP atmosphere, the class will also examine narrative structure, character development, pacing, tone, and plot points, as well as the use of index cards and script notes, LOGLINES, TREATMENTS, copyright protection, MARKETING YOUR SCRIPT, and the evolution of the modern screenplay.
