In addition to cash prizes, we also love showing your movies. The Premiere Screening of all award winning films will be on MAY 6 and 7, 2017 at the BRIGG'S OPERA HOUSE in WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VERMONT.

Award winning films also screen at film festivals across the state, on public access stations and on Vermont Public Television!

But the best prize of all may be just finishing your movie. It's an amazing feeling to tell a story on film!

Story Creation: Writer/filmmaker Gary Lee Miller uses examples from successful films to show how to keep viewers interested with rock solid story structure, sizzling dialogue and dramatic tension.

Decoding Film Language: Director Signe Taylor shows how filmmakers use "Film Language" to create stories. Learn how dolly shots, close-ups, POVs, sound effects, background music and more are part of the secret code of telling effective stories on film.

Ethnography: Vermont Folklife Center instructors will teach participants about this research methodology, which aims to understand experience from the perspective of the person to whom that experience belongs, and will show how to use ethnography as an ethical and effective tool for documentary media making.

Interviewing: Led by a Vermont Folklife Center teacher, participants will explore basic ethnographic interviewing concepts in a conversational setting, and observe and learn from a demonstration interview.

Camera Techniques: DP/Filmmaker Nora Jacobson offers this practical workshop to help you shoot video in a way that excites and entices the viewer. She'll cover handheld camera work, tripod use, practical lighting tips, how to get good sound. Bring your camera or phone!

Documentary Video Production: An overview of four basic phases of producing a documentary -- focusing less on technical training and instead looking at the process as a whole.

Minimal Resource Filmmaking: Learn how to tell compelling stories with materials and tools at your fingertips. Get familiar with how to make a movie using your phone, tablets, iPods and free audio and video editing software.
