When an asteroid marked with an alien symbol appears in the solar system, humanity begins having shared nightmares of an apocalypse. Dr Lara Kemper sets out to unravel the symbol’s mystery before it’s too late. The 'Silent Messenger' was made by a small cast and crew but uses Hollywood filmmaking techniques to suggest a film with a far bigger scope and budget. This masterclass will cover everything an filmmaker needs to know to take an idea for a short/feature film all the way through production to release and festival screenings. You’ll learn how to work with resources you already have access to, develop an idea into a compelling script, direct both non and professional actors to give great performances, create drama and suspense, shoot a Hollywood level film even on a small budget, learn secret editing techniques used in Hollywood films, and how to find an audience who will love your film. Come and see film, meet other filmmakers, chat with the people behind the feature, get insights into how to work the independent film sector and how to make your film today. The film education project has developed out of an indie Sci-Fi-feature-film collaboration between Glasgow based filmmaker Simon Bishopp, Dr Katja Frimberger (University of Strathclyde) and Alexander Crawford who came on board as performers. Together, they produced, 'The Silent Messenger' - an epic sci-fi mystery thriller - inspired by sci-fi movies like David Cronenberg’s 'Scanners', Kaufman’s 1978 “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”, Denis Villeneuve’s 'Arrival' and Nicolas Roeg’s 'Don't Look Now'. The film was award-nominated at BIFF (Braunschweig International Film festival) film festival in Germany. The team has now been funded by to share their film and screen skills with young people who want to embark on their own filmmaking journey.PT1H15The Silent Messenger"The Silent Messenger"
