About this class

PitchNic is Spy Hop’s year-long filmmaking program, where you and your crewmates create four short films: two fiction and two nonfiction. In this advanced course, you will be mentored through all stages of film production: pre-production, production, and post-production. You will be challenged to conceptualize stories, write treatments, create shot lists, pitch films, direct actors, light scenes, edit trailers, and so much more. By the end of this course, you and your crewmates will premiere your films at a live red-carpet event and Q&A.
