DIRECTING WORKSHOP
Addressing the creative and logistical aspects of
directing a film.
Attendees will be able to read a short script and address both the creative needs of the project and its
logistical aspects and blend them into a successful
Mr. Ted Parvin approach to producing a viable film.
This is an excellent opportunity for both novices and established filmmakers alike
to get some key advice on navigating the logistical and creative aspects necessary to
actually MAKE your film. Don’t fall prey to the common mistakes filmmakers make
when they assume they know how to translate words into film or video, Ted Parvin
will guide you through these common pitfalls and show you how to do it right!
About the instructor - Ted Parvin is a film and television industry legend, having
been part of the Academy Award winning wardrobe team for Around the World in
80 Days, through his extensive career as a first assistant director, producer and
director, working with people like Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Tom Hanks, John
Candy, and many more. Recently, Ted and others have founded the Northwest Film
Institute in Sandpoint, and he has won several awards for his writing.
