MPC Saturday Seminars

We are excited to share the schedule and details of our new “Working Methods” Seminar Series.

This series of six Seminars held throughout the year provide an overview, focusing on each stage of creating film, television, and advertising media. The seminars will cover the challenges and nuances of creating media and production, and turning hard work into creative success.

Each phase of production will be explored by key leaders in the industry with presentations and a panel discussion on essential film and media making topics.
