Workshop Description:

Tears, Rage, And Despair Begone!

Has anyone seen or been involved with a film production that was nothing but a mess from start to finish? Where stress is a constant? Where blame is sprayed all around like water blasting from a crazed firehose? Where the final results were not worth all the pain and remain a blot on the landscape of everyone’s list of credits?

Would anyone want to be involved in a production like that ever again?

Well, sit back and relax… Like bright sunshine after a nasty rain, here comes a Workshop to clear away your production woes and sweep them away forever.

Yes… it’s… Organization!

Terry Gadsden’s Workshop on Organization will provide a series of tips used by top industry pros to make any production roll along smoothly. 

Organization and planning can be the difference between a smooth production and a painful one. Organizational steps taken before a production begins will increase the joy factor for everyone involved.
