AFTRS OPEN short courses offer up-to-the-minute skills and insights. If you’re an Independent Filmmaker (or a fledgling one) we’ve got some courses that should kick start things and maybe even make (or save) you some money! Running Your Own Creative Business (Sydney, Melbourne and a number of regional centres) will teach you invaluable skills, not least what to do with that drawer full of receipts! If you’re trying to get your film production business started don’t miss out on Tait Brady’s Creating Success With Your Short Film in March, and there’s also a new sound post production course in April – Post Production Sound for the Indie Film maker. For filmmakers in a hurry we have Make a Film in Four Days – an intensive new course over two weekends.
If TV is your thing, for aspiring multi-cam TV directors we have Multi-Camera Studio Director in May, a brand new course which is unique in Australia, and if you want to progress your career in Reality TV there’s Working With Real People: Producing Reality TV in late March.
