Raindance Film Training Open Day

Details

The Raindance Open Day is your opportunity to experience a real taste of our world-renowned evening & weekend film training courses, classes and workshops.

Attending our Open Day will allow you to learn more about the different filmmaking disciplines and crafts through sample lectures and workshops delivered by experienced film professionals over the day. Attendees will leave with an introductory knowledge of the many filmmaking disciplines taught by Raindance.

We have designed the day for you to explore what we have to offer and immerse yourself within our film training school for the day. Try out as many of the taster sessions as you like, and end the day at our networking drinks where you can talk to tutors and other attendees over a free drink.

The day will include a range of taster sessions including directing, screenwriting and producing, along with sessions on breaking into the film industry.

This event will take place at the Raindance Film Training Centre. Here you will find all the information you will need about stepping into the world of filmmaking, no matter your level and experience.

This event is free for Raindance Members. If you are an active Raindance Member and would like to attend the Taster Day, please email courses@raindance.co.uk.

What do I need to bring?

Just yourself and something to make notes on, if you wish.

And a drink and your business information for the networking afterwards.
