The film school has been opened since 1995 and offers week long sessions in specialized film courses with overnight accommodation and amazing FOOD. The courses are more of a bootcamp to kick filmakers into gear.
The GIFTS courses are all intensive, live-in sessions where students work in small teams on projects that are entirely theirs.
I have been teaching Visual Effects and Animation, as well as a new directors 2-week course where each student writes and directs their own film.
The school is grounded in hands-on experience, by having all students participate in all areas of production to create a finished film at the end of the week.
Thanks to life-long friend Bryan Green and VTGS for the hook up.
I will be posted at Galiano Island until early September.
Go G.I.F.T.S!
