Art Department Intro Guide | October 11th - 18th

from $40.00

Let's break down how the art department functions on a film set, from pre-production through wrap.

Through candid discussions, real on-set case studies, and a guided workbook, participants will explore art department responsibilities including how to breakdown a script, track continuity, where to source prop and set pieces in the Twin Cities, how collaboration works across departments, essential toolkit item tips, and the unique realities of local productions.

By the end of the workshop, each participant will have created a personalized on-set action plan and leave with practical tools, local resources, and a blueprint for their next role on any art department.
