Producer's Toolkit

CLASS DESCRIPTIONBring your story ideas into the pre-production phase in this hands-on workshop where you and a creative cohort will collaboratively map out next steps for your story ideas. It’s easy to get stuck in the early stages of putting together a production, and it takes a team of support to get it off the ground! In this workshop, you’ll work in a small group and dive into the pre-production process. Start organizing your ideas through storyboards and shot lists, become familiar with industry roles and shot types, and learn how a production moves from development to distribution. At the end of the course, you’ll walk away with a toolkit of additional resources to help you bring your story into the production phase.DETAILSRegistration closes on Sunday, March 16th at 9:00pm.$60 for non-members / $30 for SPEAK MPLS membersThis in-person event will be held at SPEAK MPLS Northeast, located within the Waterbury Building at 1121 Jackson Street NE Studio #128, Minneapolis, MN 55413.
