Filmmakers' Ambition



During our meetings, we each present topics. One day we might talk about how to direct actors, and other days we might talk about how to make special Effects. At the end of each meeting we choose a topic for the next meeting. So there is a chance for everyone to learn tons of stuff they might not have known. Below are all the paper handouts and web links that have been discussed during our meetings. Please feel free to download and surf.
