Workshop Description:

In this session, Becky draws from her experience working with indie writers/directors and what she has discovered to be the best and most efficient practices for low-budget shooting. as well she will discuss the importance of the relationships between the director, the cinematographer and the rest of the creative and technical teams on indie shoots.
