Director Shadow Workshop
The Director’s Shadow Workshop is designed to prepare aspiring filmmakers with the skills and strategies to maximize a shadowing opportunity. Participants will learn what to look for on set, how to track a director’s moment-to-moment decisions, and the best practices for observing and absorbing the workflow of episodic television. By the end of the workshop, you’ll understand not only how to shadow effectively, but how to translate that experience into your own growth as a director in New Mexico’s thriving film industry.
A Community for Creatives
Our main facility is a two-story, 10,588-square-foot building with 19 offices, two conference rooms, a loading dock, a large kitchen, storage rooms and two patio areas. Settle into one or both of our two large executive suites, relax around our firepit and enjoy the amazing “Cognition Enhancer” sculpture by Steve Kline. Lose yourself in the beautiful views of two extraordinary ranges: the Jemez Mountains to the west and the Sangre de Cristo mountains to the east. And rest easy while our 24/7 security system keeps you and your resources safe and sound.
