Making the Documentary

This course will be a hands on learning experience in which you will be engaged working collaboratively with classmates in making a short film reflective of what you learn about the film and TV industry.   The subject matter will be determined once we get there, but right now the three subjects which are being considered are 1) doing a film made up of interviews you will have with entertainment professionals, many of whom will be Pitt alum who have had success in the industry.  2) a film about what it is like to intern at Lionsgate, as surprising the studio does not present have such a video and/or 3) a film interview our guest speakers and others about their own “early experiences breaking into the industry.”
