The course you have enrolled in, USC-Universal Producing and Directing Program, has been taught for many years at USC.  We take great pride in this hands-on production intensive course.  During the six-week class you will produce, write, direct, shoot and edit TWO digital projects of no more than six minutes in length.  You will also produce, write, direct, shoot and edit a 16mm GROUP project, to be shot on the Universal Studios Back Lot.  This film will be of no more than 4 minutes in length.  Special emphasis is given to visual storytelling.  We encourage experimentation with genre and form. 

Your class will meet Monday-through-Thursday, with labs running in the afternoons.  Instructions will include both theory and practical excercises.  This is a very rigorous program aimed at students who wish to immerse themselves in cinematic grammar and production.

WELCOME 2009 CLASS!
