Flash Film Lab

The deadline to sign up to act or direct is April 15. Once sign ups have closed, an email will be sent out introducing the director to their actors.

At Flash Film Lab, each team will have 45 minutes to film/cover a scene of the director's choosing (up to 8 pages) using a smartphone or similar capture device.

During this time, you'll have the chance to network, collaborate, and provide constructive feedback to those participating in the workshop.

The main objective is to practice decision-making, performance skills, and walking away with material to study.

Please note:

We highly encourage the directors to share their recorded material with their actors after the workshop for educational purposes. These recordings are not meant to act as a reel or any kind of material to showcase on an actor's website, social media, etc. Additionally, if the director does not have written material or a smartphone it can be provided.

Have an idea for a workshop, performance, or event?

Our diverse community is always looking for new ways to grow in their creative practice and get inspired by other artists' work. Get in touch with us at https://www.greenshirtstudio.com/hosting
