Script to Screen: Developing Your Visual Language with Jay Holben

Join Camera Ambassador and acclaimed director/author Jay Holben, ASC for a night dedicated to one of filmmaking’s most essential disciplines
About this Event

Drawing from his years of experience as a Director and cinematographer as well as his landmark works The Cine Lens Manual and The Director’s Guide to Everything, Jay will guide attendees through the creative and analytical work of preproduction — exploring how choices in lenses, filtration, and camera systems can be harnessed not just technically, but expressively, in service of story.

This is not a gear seminar; it’s a conversation about how the most intentional filmmakers build a cohesive visual identity before the camera ever rolls. Whether you’re a director developing your eye, a cinematographer deepening your craft, or a writer considering how their words might be transformed into moving images, Script to Screen offers a rare opportunity to think seriously about the images that you make and why you make them.

This class is designed for working proffesionals with a firm base of experience rather than an entry-level course.
