# Event Details - **Event Name**: CONCEPT TO COMPLETION: MASTERCLASS WITH CHARLIE FAULKS | Halloween 2026 - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 31 Oct, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 31 Oct, 2026 at 02:30 pm (+13:00) - **Event Description**: Charlie Faulks: From Concept to Completion How does a 19-year-old Screen Arts student get almost half a million dollars to make an animated zombie series set on a rural New Zealand farm? That’s the story behind Bloke of the Apocalypse, and it’s the starting point for an intimate 90-minute masterclass with animator and filmmaker Charlie Faulks. Charlie began developing Bloke of the Apocalypse while studying Screen Arts, making the first episodes independently before the project grew into a professionally funded animated series. In this masterclass, Charlie will take you behind the scenes of that journey, from the first spark of an idea through to developing the project, making those early episodes, finding collaborators, pitching, funding, animation, production and getting the finished work in front of an audience. Along the way, he’ll share the practical realities of making ambitious screen work, including what he learned from starting out with limited resources, developing a distinctive creative voice, building a team, navigating the funding process and turning an idea into something that can actually be made. There’ll be video excerpts and behind-the-scenes material from Bloke of the Apocalypse, as well as plenty of time for questions and conversation. This is not a theoretical masterclass. It’s a chance to hear directly from a young New Zealand filmmaker who has taken an original idea from student project to professional production. Who is it for? * Secondary students, aspiring filmmakers and animators, emerging creatives, writers, artists and storytellers, or anyone curious about how a screen idea moves from concept to completion. * No previous filmmaking or animation experience is required. * The masterclass is deliberately small, with a maximum of 15 participants, so there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and have a genuine conversation with Charlie. Tickets * Adults: $35 * Secondary students: $15 This masterclass has been subsidised with grateful thanks to the Masterton District Creative Communities Scheme, helping make this professional development opportunity more accessible to the Wairarapa community. Saturday 31 October 2026 1:00pm–2:30pm Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History, Masterton Places are strictly limited to 15. Part of Halloween 2026 with The Story Studio, Aratoi and Regent 3 Cinemas. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/masterton/concept-to-completion-masterclass-with-charlie-faulks-halloween-2026/200030744364405 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Masterton - **state**: WG - **country**: New Zealand - **location**: Aratoi Museum of Art and History - **lat**: -40.948771972305 - **long**: 175.66533565521 - **full address**: Aratoi Museum of Art and History, 10 Dixon St, Masterton 5810, New Zealand, Masterton ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: CONCEPT TO COMPLETION: MASTERCLASS WITH CHARLIE FAULKS | Halloween 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/bfcf6a82d7938054fb3b7abcfdd42b56ad5347264846179cc230268ab8b10098-rimg-w1200-h600-dc080808-gmir?v=1790509084 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is CONCEPT TO COMPLETION: MASTERCLASS WITH CHARLIE FAULKS | Halloween 2026 being held? - **A:** CONCEPT TO COMPLETION: MASTERCLASS WITH CHARLIE FAULKS | Halloween 2026 takes place on Sat, 31 Oct, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 31 Oct, 2026 at 02:30 pm at Aratoi Museum of Art and History, 10 Dixon St, Masterton 5810, New Zealand, Masterton. - **Q**: Who is organizing CONCEPT TO COMPLETION: MASTERCLASS WITH CHARLIE FAULKS | Halloween 2026? - **A:** CONCEPT TO COMPLETION: MASTERCLASS WITH CHARLIE FAULKS | Halloween 2026 is organized by The Story Studio. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
