Have you ever had a desire to be on a film set and also get paid to do it? Convoy Media is offering film workshops to learn an INSIDE perspective of the film industry you’ll never hear anywhere, not in books, on the internet or in film school.

From our workshops, people have gotten internships, auditions, paid film jobs as well as relationships that lead to film gigs, that have even taken people around the world.
We offer workshops that range from 1 to 5 days. We believe in the hands on approach to learning. 

Our next workshop we are going to learn about becoming a successful Grip and Electric in the film industry. This will be a 2 day course. You will be learning from Industry professionals. 
You will learn the ins and outs of Grip and Electric equipment, from Stands, dollies, distro to lights using the latest industry gear. What is even better is our gear is going to be provided to us by ufprentals.com. They are one of the top providers in utah for Camera, Lighting, Sound and Grip equipment. 

It is our goal to have our participants be ready to jump on as a grip or electric for a small budget commercial or independent film after completion of our G&E workshop.

Anyone can produce a film but it is much harder to make a MARKETABLE film. Learn step by step what actions you need to take as a producer to find, produce and sell a project that buyers around the world are looking for right now.

During this seminar you will learn how filmmakers in Utah have consistently produced dozens of profitable films over the last several years. These producers will discuss the process of choosing or writing the right script, attaching the best cast and crew, producing the film within a realistic budget, how to get the right distribution, and how to assemble all the deliverables for worldwide distribution.

Don't make another film that has no chance of making any money. Sign up for the Film Producing Seminar now.

Schedule

Story and Development | 1pm - 1:50pm
Everyone feels they have the perfect story to make a movie that everyone will want to watch, but the harsh reality is that most independent movies fail due to stories that aren't marketable. This session will focus on picking stories that will attract buyers, as well as putting together a marketable package for your film, including cast, story elements, production value, and the creative team.

Sponsored by the Edification Through Media Foundation.

*Detailed schedule will be released closer to the event.

This event will be video recorded.
