Step onto a real film set and help create a horror movie scene in this fast-paced, hands-on filmmaking workshop led by industry professionals from the Motion Picture Institute.
Participants can act on camera or work behind the scenes using professional filmmaking equipment while learning how a horror scene is staged, lit, directed, and shot in a live production environment.
