Don’t know what you mean by “resources”. Are you talking about camera and lights? You might consider signing up with the community access media program in your borough. In Brooklyn its BCAT. You pay them a fee to take their classes and be trained by them. Then you can take out their equipment and shoot — but you need to provide them with a program they can air.

Below is info on our upcoming Scriptwriting class. There will be two different sessions offered this time. One on Wed evenings and one on at afternoons (see details below).

If you have questions about the actual content of the class,
please email me at: classes@wearebyfc.org

Our current website site is still relatively new and we just got funding for a webmaster to help us format it. Until that is accomplished and we are regularly inputting into the site, it
is better to email us at: classes@wearebyfc.org

INTRO TO SCRIPTWRITING: Written Blueprint for Making a Film — Development
A comprehensive introduction to screenwriting and how a script is used by all departments as the ‘blueprint’ for making a film. Students will learn how to write short scripts with a focus on three act structure; character development; building back story; foreshadowing; and using props and set as visuals to help advance and deepen the storyline. One of the student scripts will be selected for production in the third class. Choose from two different sessions of this class:

FLM 100 Wednesdays, April 6, 13, 20, 27, & May 4 6:00-9:00pm 15 hours, $120*

We have a MAKE A FILM Class – PreProduction & Shoot – starting this Wed, Jan 5 (see attached). You can audit ($6 per session) the first 4 sessions and see firsthand what we
are doing. We select a student script from our Intro to Scriptwriting Class and develop it to a more professional level, and then work with an emerging director, cinematographer, and editor to shoot a short film.

I also suggest you go to MeetUp.com — they have a number of filmmaker networking groups
where you might be able to meet other filmmakers who want to work on projects together.

p.s. sorry for taking so long to reply. we had just put up new site when you emailed and are only now having time to really develop it.

Our next Intro to Scriptwriting Class is in the Spring and starts April 6th.

You can also learn a lot about scriptwriting by attending our current MAKE A FILM Class — PreProduction & Shoot. We are allowing people to audit the first 4 class sessions for $6 per session. In the class on January 5 we will be doing a script analysis of a new rewrite of the
script we are going to shoot. A script is a blueprint for shooting and this class will show
how a script is used.
