+ WORKSHOP FORMAT

Very much in the style of Mike Leigh, this exciting workshop will explore exercises for devising and improvisation on screen. Focus on developing a character and script from the ground up with Jesse Quinones. Many projects are using the improvisation technique, including one of Jesse's next films - it's a liberating and fun process! Exercises will be recorded on a live feed, in real-world conditions.

The process will be filmed and sent to you (upon request) for no extra charge. Which will allow you to showcase what you have developed together.

Your scenes will be recorded with broadcast quality equipment. Upon request, you have the option to receive your footage after the session for no extra cost!
