This Week’s Topic: Cutting for Emotion
• Learn to feel the rhythm of a scene
• Experiment with cut timings for greater impact

This drop-in workshop series invites new and returning filmmakers to explore editing in a relaxed, hands-on setting. Designed for beginners, hobbyists, and creative learners, each session focuses on a single editing theme—taught through guided worksheet stations, optional mini-demos, and supportive peer learning.

Workshops are paced to meet you where you are. You can work independently or in small groups, with help available throughout. No prior experience required.

Each session offers practical tools and small creative wins—so you leave not overwhelmed, but more confident, capable, and inspired to keep experimenting.

Session Fee: $15 (Rochester residents) / $18 (non-residents)
