Austin FilmWorks Classes for Fall

in

Austin FilmWorks is now accepting student registrations for the Feature Lab sequence in Fall 2009. Feature Lab is Steve Mims's demanding filmmaking class sequence that requires students to produce two short films and play a key role on a class-produced feature-length film.

Divided into three levels, Feature Lab includes introductory, intermediate and advanced courses -- Production One, Two and Three -- where students create an individual short, a group short and a group feature in an intense 16-month, four semester program.

Steve Mims is a long-time Austin filmmaker and teacher whose award-winning short films, music videos and features have screened widely in festivals and on television. As Slackerwood reported recently, Mims was awarded a Barbara Jordan Media Award for a 2008 film about dyslexia. His short film gives an insight in children's experience with this learning disability.
