Our students have asked us for years to help them with the challenges they face that are either not directly taught or addressed regularly in our technique classes. The following is the beginning of our response to those requests.

Film Appreciation & Analysis

What separates the great, classic movies of lasting value of importance from all the rest?

This class, taught by Tony Savant, will deconstruct and analyze four classic movies over 8 classes (2 classes per film), using each one to explore the acting, writing, directing and cinematic contributions the actors and film artists made in telling these stories.
Class Meets Fridays, 9 am to 12 noon.   Session Begins Friday, May 4th
