Please join us on Wednesday May 8th from 6-9 PM for our “Directing vs Producing: Maintaining Filmmaker’s Vision” workshop with Director / Producer Fabiola Andrade!

The beginning of the story’s journey is discovered in an idea and then nourished through different stages and collaborators. Learn the different paths directors and producers take to carry the spirit and integrity of the story through all the production stages. We will explore how to do this while maximizing resources, turning obstacles into opportunities and achieving the objectives set by the artistic, financial, and administrative branches. Fabiola Andrade will explore the potential of every choice, and how deeply it can impact your artistic vision and the execution of your project.

  • We will cover:

  • Directing vs Producing

  • Indie vs. Studio vs. Commercial

  • Why this story? Taking the first step toward making your film

  • Production Stages (Development, Pre-Production, Production, Post and Distribution) and how to craft a creative and meaningful approach on each one of them

Instructor

Fabiola Andrade

Fabiola Andrade is a queer, Honduras-born, US-based filmmaker inspired by her multicultural heritage and interdisciplinary background. Through drama, sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, the themes in her projects explore the coming of self and how it flows into day-to-day, yet surreal settings. Recently, she was selected for the Women of Color Incubator sponsored by Netflix and The National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP) for the development of her film Natural Selection. Andrade’s path has been supported by distinguished programs and fellowships from Telluride Film Festival, New Orleans Film Festival Emerging Voices’ Director Lab, Tomorrow Filmmakers Today, and Film Independent’s Project Involve. Keen to form and substance, Andrade writes, directs, and produces independently, while also collaborating in various roles with the studios Netflix, Disney, Universal, and Paramount Pictures. Overlapping her skills and intuition, she looks to nourish the artistry and potential in every project.
