On Sunday, December 2nd , the Los Angeles-based film collective, We Make Movies is bringing its signature Writers Workshop back to the San Francisco film community.
The nine-year old LA film collective, which has executive produced dozens of films in Los Angeles and Canada and collaborated on hundreds more, is excited to be partnering with the esteemed Artists Television Access for these workshops, and hope to serve the independent filmmakers of San Francisco on a regular basis.
“This is about more than just giving artists the tools and community to improve and complete their projects, but to promote and maintain a sustainable, supportive community,” says Chad Kukahiko, the Chief of Operations of We Make Movies, “This is about making the movies that you want to see.”
The December 2 nd workshop will feature scripts by San Francisco writers being read by San Francisco actors and getting feedback by their local artists. We Make Movies is thrilled to be working with Artists’ Television Access, which has been faithfully serving the San Francisco film community for nearly thirty-five years.
