ScreenFit May 2023 Christchurch class in collaboration with members of NAW, PISA & Equity NZ (5)

Kia ora Ōtautahi Christchurch! We're so excited to bring our very first ScreenFit class to your neck of the woods on Sunday 28th May 2023. This FREE class is for writers, actors and directors or all levels. You don't want to miss this so register your interest now!

PS - ScreenFit is kid friendly too so if you're a mum or dad, feel free to bring the littlelies along while you get screen fit. There are lots of spaces for them to hang, watch movies on their devices, or do rollie-pollies!

Here’s how ScreenFit works:

1. Writers, actors and directors register for ScreenFit (as individuals - not teams). Writers submit a scene, synopsis, and character briefs for 2 x characters. (That's your work pretty much done, writers!)

2. Registrations close Sat 20th May 2023.

3. Teams consisting of a writer, 2 x actors and a director are chosen and sent the above information around Mon 22nd May 2023.

4. All teams sign in at the Ōtautahi CHC location (Fale Eke - Pacific Hub, level 1, 285 Cashel Street, CHC) on Sunday 28th May 2023 from 12.30pm for a 1pm kickoff.

5. All teams rehearse/block their scene. This is like the final creative rehearsal you have before you 'shoot' the scene.

6. Each team runs a block 'performance' of their scene to the entire group which can be filmed on one of the team member’s phone or camera for their own team’s records.

7. Our ScreenFit guest instructor (G.I.) / industry professional gives quick feedback to each team.

8. Networking and refreshments time!
