Senior Film Course

The Jewkes Foundation has held film classes for seniors, which essentially walk them through the process of creating a film from the ground up. The classes aim to give participants a creative outlet and learn the skills of the trade that is dominated by younger generations. This course covers the following aspects of filmmaking:

  • Screenwriting
  • Pre-Production (including film financing)
  • Casting
  • Production Management
  • Cinematography
  • Acting & Directing
  • Post-Production (including film editing and music scoring)
  • Distribution & Marketing

The completed project, created and filmed by the seniors, is then premiered among family and friends. In some instances, it is submitted into film festivals.
