INDIE FILMMAKER CLASSES
NOVAC hosts seminars, lectures and hands-on workshops both in-person and online. We strive to provide our community of aspiring and working storytellers with access to classes that will help them get their start and continue to expand their skillset.
Community Filmmaking Cohort
Our Community Filmmaker Cohort Program is designed to help new and emerging filmmakers collaboratively develop a film. Under the guidance of our professional filmmaker mentors, all of the Cohort participants learn about their skillset in depth, with a collective emphasis on learning about general production. In addition to the production of their short films, each Cohort member has free access to all of our independent filmmaker workshops.
