Making your First Feature Film

With the technology currently available to filmmakers, making a first feature film has never been easier or more accessible. Even in the current economic climate there are gifted and enthusiastic people defying the odds to commit their vision to cinema screens worldwide.

In this 8 hour workshop director Graham Cantwell will take you step by step through the stages of feature film production on a modest budget and will pass on all the hard earned knowledge he has accumulated over 13 years working at all levels of the industry.

The course will cover all aspects of the filmmaking process from sourcing a budget to the practicalities of shooting a feature length film on a micro budget and the logistics and requirements of post production and marketing & distribution.

Practical examples will be demonstrated using footage and materials from Graham's many films including the IFTA nominated feature film ANTON and award winning short films A DUBLIN STORY and ONE CAREFUL OWNER. Support materials such as templates and handouts will be provided to give you a deeper understanding of all the tools necessary to get a production off the ground.

The course will appeal to directors and producers looking to make the step up to feature films or anyone involved in other filmmaking disciplines looking to get a greater understanding of the director's role in the process.

Graham has been working in film since 1996 and has developed a huge level of experience at all levels of the industry. His most recent work, the feature film ANTON, has screened at festivals worldwide including the Marche du Film at the Cannes Film Festival, the American Film Market, the Boston Irish Film Festival, The Foyle International Film Festival, The Galway Film Fleadh and others, and has been nominated for 3 Irish Film and Television Academy Awards. The film screened in Irish theatres for three weeks in October to great critical acclaim and has been picked up for international sales by Eastwest distribution in London.
