Hope to meet you Friday! Trayce, Brooklyn Young Filmmakers

Follow-Up Events to March 21st SkillShares The "Music" SkillShare is a lead-in to BYFC's new monthly SkillShare "Music & Sound in Film, starting April 24th (http://www.wearebyfc.org/calendar-2/)and happening every 4th Thursday.

The two "Make-Up" presenters are planning with BYFC future educational follow-up on Character Make-Up for Camera, including Special Effects Make-Up. Dates to be announced.

The "Understanding Dating" SkillShare complements BYFC philosophy that Storytelling is about understanding people. We will broaden the content and format with BYFC's new monthly SkillShare LIFE VIA FILM, starting April 10th (http://www.wearebyfc.org/calendar-2/) and happening every 2nd Thursday. At this monthly SkillShare, we'll read a short script, view the provocative short film it was made into, and discuss its filmmaking history, followed by a lively dialogue on the themes and cultural insights of the film.

"Film Two Ways" promotes a SkillShare we have been doing for some time -- The Last Tuesday Film Club , where we show how to do in-depth analysis of films. Next one March 25! (http://www.wearebyfc.org/calendar-2/)
