This engaging 90-minute older adult-focused workshop breaking down the four phases of filmmaking: pre-production, production, post-production, and marketing/distribution. Using real-world indie success stories, participants will learn how films are developed, shot, edited, and brought to audiences worldwide — proving that creativity, strategy, and passion can turn even the smallest idea into a global project.
