The Gulf Coast Film Workshop is an immersive, hands-on filmmaking intensive designed to give emerging storytellers in the Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg and Clearwater area the practical tools, confidence and creative community to turn an idea into an original short film in 6 hours.
Using nothing more than a mobile device, accessible tools and your imagination, you’ll move through the filmmaking process from concept to premiere. We focus on accessible techniques to start creating films immediately.
Unlike traditional film classes that focus primarily on lectures, the Gulf Coast Film Workshop emphasizes practical experience, creative experimentation, and collaboration. During this six-hour film training experience, you’ll move through the essential stages of independent filmmaking, from developing an idea to sharing a finished short film with an audience.
WRITE: Develop an original story and build compelling characters.
PRODUCE: Learn how to plan a production with limited time and resources.
DIRECT: Explore performance, blocking, visual storytelling and working with actors.
SHOOT: Use a phone to capture cinematic images, sound and performances.
EDIT: Cut the footage together and create a finished short film using accessible editing tools.
DISTRIBUTE: Learn how to package, market and share your work with an audience.
The Gulf Coast Film Workshop was created to help break down those barriers for the next generation of bold, diverse storytellers throughout the greater Tampa Bay region, including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and surrounding Florida’s Gulf Coast communities.
We are particularly focused on creating space for Black, Latine, LGBTQIA+ and Women emerging artists to develop filmmaking skills, experiment creatively and see themselves as filmmakers because representation doesn’t only happen when we’re on screen. It happens when we’re behind the camera, writing the script, calling action, shaping the image and telling our own stories.
$150 per storyteller · Limited to 10 participants per session
*must be 18+ to participate
