Cleveland, Ohio- Independent Pictures and Media Design Imaging are proud to
present the wildly popular 6th Annual Director of Photography Workshop
9a-6p on Sunday, November 6th at The Hyacinth Lofts, 3030 East 63rd Street
in Cleveland, Ohio. Workshop cost is $50 (must be paid in advance) and
includes lunch the day of the workshop and one admission to the 2005 Ohio
Independent Film Festival the following weekend.

Join us for an all day workshop on filmmaking. Learn techniques and experience
the different directorial viewpoints of three Director of Photography experts
including local legend Robert C. Banks, Jr. Participants will be involved in a
hands-on experience as each DP is given a raw script, a bare set, and basic
lighting and grip equipment, and is faced with the challenge of creating a film.
Each DP will create a lighting design with volunteer assistance (participants)
as
crew or cast, then record the results on color reversal 16mm film (courtesy of
Kodak, Inc.). The film will then be processed and screened the next weekend at
the 2005 Ohio Independent Film Festival, Cleveland Public Theatre, 6415
Detroit Road in Cleveland, Ohio.

Seating is limited so reservations must be made and paid for in advance. Send
your $50 check (made out to Independent Pictures) to OIFF, 1392 West 65th
