About this Event

This hands-on lighting workshop is designed for beginner to intermediate filmmakers and photographers looking to deepen their understanding of light as a storytelling tool. Participants will explore the fundamentals of lighting, including shaping the quality of light, motivating sources, and using light to support narrative.

Through practical exercises, attendees will work with professional lighting equipment to create a range of visually distinct scenes, experimenting across different genres, moods, and styles.

Workshops are recommended for people ages 12 and over. Children under 12 years old are welcome with parent/guardian supervision. Please get a ticket for each person (incl. all children).

The workshop is admission by donation! Suggested $20 - $30 to support facilitator fees and supplies.
