What makes our filmmaking programs and workshops unique?

    The outLOUD Academy is a film & acting school designed for a new generation of filmmakers and actors who want to learn by making their own projects hands-on and intensive.

    At the Academy you will learn by doing from day one.
    We teach the art and craft of filmmaking through a balance of classroom instruction, hands-on film workshops, and immediate directing experience. Students will learn about and explore the numerous visual, dramatic, and technical challenges that directors face. In addition to writing, producing, directing, and editing their own films, students assist other members as their crews in the roles of director of photography, assistant cameraperson, and gaffer/grip, providing everyone with extensive set experience. Ultimately, through intensive hands-on instruction, our goal is to empower students to artfully, cinematically, and originally tell stories.


    Students are treated as Producers throughout the duration of the course, and are challenged and encouraged, but not required; to bring a piece of intellectual property - a book, screenplay, show concept or treatment — at the beginning of the course that will be used throughout the program as the foundation of their final project. Students take this project through the various stages of development: pitch, treatment, script, talent search, budget, schedule, and plans for marketing and distribution. Students learn the real-world strategies for successful producing and are encouraged to develop the professional network needed within the film and television industry.

• Film Producer
- The film producer is usually considered to be the person in charge of the entire film. The producer plans the production, hires key staff, organises financial backing and budgets, distribution, etc.

          Required Skills
            - Film producers need to have strong organizational skills and good business sense. As well as making sure the
              film gets made on time and budget, they need to make sure it has an audience and will be profitable. There are
              exceptions to this rule (not all films are expected to turn a profit), but the producer is usually the business head of
 		  
     
   
• Film Director
The position of film director is not easy to define concisely. Different film companies and directors have different ideas about exactly what the job entails. However the following duties are fairly standard:
- Interpreting the script and making it into a film. This can involve planning locations, shots, pacing, acting styles and anything else which affects the feel of the movie.
- Overseeing the cinematography and technical aspects.
- Coaching actors and directing them towards the required performances.
- Coordinating staff on set, directing the shooting timetable and ensuring that deadlines are met.

Laypeople sometimes confuse the director with the producer. This is understandable since they are both "bosses" of the film, and indeed their jobs can often overlap. The difference is that the producer is usually responsible for overseeing the entire project, including finance and budgets, hiring staff, managing logistics, etc. The director is more responsible for the creative aspects. The director is usually hired by and answerable to the producer.

How much authority is given to the director depends on many factors, most notably the director's experience and reputation. A first-time director might be given specific instructions on how the film is to be made, but an acclaimed Hollywood director is likely to be given full creative control.

As mentioned, some directors also take on certain duties of the producer. S/he may even do both jobs and be credited as producer/director. This tends to happen at both the bottom end of the budget scale (where many jobs are shared) and the top end (where some directors are given total control).

Directors may or may not be involved in the editing. In some cases there is a separate "director's cut", which means the director's version of the final edit.

            Required Skills
            - A film director must have a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of film production, from acting to lens
              gain a lot of experience in other roles first. Film directing is a vocation which, for most people, is more about
             creative achievement than financial reward. It is a difficult field to break into and the aspiring director should be
             prepared for a lot of hard work. Huge salaries are the exception rather than the rule.
