CAMERAderie: Act Three

CAMERAderie: Act Three encompasses the production (each film is a 3-day shoot), post production, delivery & a VIP Black Carpet Screening & Award Ceremony of the greenlit CAMERAderie films.  Many department heads have mentors and will receive prizes to enhance their kits and other professional goals.  The filmmakers have all signed the Parity In Action pledge, and their shoots have all female department heads plus 70% women crews.  

We are very excited to have shot these high production value shorts with major support from MBS group, Hackman Capital, and our vendor partners.

Education, Training, Networking

CAMERAderie: Act Two commenced in the fall of 2020, giving participants mentorship, development, networking, education, and training. We did a series of two-day learning conventions about post-production/workflow, pre-production, and a masterclass with Catherine Hardwicke to name a few.

We culminated with hybrid Illumination training in partnership with MBS Group.  The on the ground portions were held at Manhattan Beach Studios and Television City in Los Angeles with experts in the field of grip, electrics, and set construction/scenic art.  Many thanks to Hackman Capital for sponsoring the training that lead to the building and lighting of our sets for Moon and Smashed as well as sponsoring the grip and lighting equipment that made our productions a true 360 experience for all of our participants.
