Greetings, fellow filmmakers!
The RIFC Educational Program is gearing up! We’re drawing together great instructors, locations, funding and equipment, to give our local actors and filmmakers the kind of learning opportunities that they can really use. Our focus is on hands-on training wherever possible, and instruction by industry professionals who have the experience to lead us forward.
We’ve done our best to incorporate everyone’s ideas to create a truly helpful course catalog, and now we’d love your feedback! Please take our RIFC Classes Survey –let us know what you think of our ideas, and let us know your own! It’s a bit long, but if you fill out the survey (reasonably) completely, there’s a nice ‘thank you’ offer at the end. Please take a little time to help us create the classes that you really want to take!
