Actors -- show us the type of role you'd love to play! Bring your best 40-60 sec monologue excerpt* to present Live before a panel (led by CD Beverly Holloway - IMDb), who will provide practical feedback in the room. Fellow actors and producers/directors scouting talent for future projects are welcome to come, take notes, and network afterward. The showcase will go in order of sign-ups, for as long as the session time allows. Monologue sign-up sheets will be available near registration on Monday, August 10th.
* Monologue content must be appropriate for all audiences, as all ages are welcome in the class. You may write something original or choose/modify existing Film/TV material. Please time a test-run beforehand to ensure you are not exceeding the minute mark; thanks!

A discussion with writer/director David Helling, regarding his journey as a Biblical filmmaker-- from doing short films with no budget to his recent project "His Only Son", a feature film focused on Abraham and his call to sacrifice his own son.

A practical guide on how to be strategic with budgets, talent, locations, special effects, crew and more.

In June of 2020 Joseph and Stacie Graber co-directed We Three Kings, a new Christmas movie telling the story behind the carol of the same name.  They are dedicated to learning to work together as a team - not just in film but in life, in marriage, in pastoral work, and in parenting their four boys.  In this talk they share helpful stories and tips about directing actors, co-directing effectively (without hating each other), and the whole talk may or may not be sprinkled with random advice on how to keep your marriage strong while staying in film.
