    I'm so happy I told this class. The class was a hands on immersive experience in creating a film from a short scene. It felt like one week too short. I learned a lot about what aspects of filmmaking I'm interested in and will pursue more thoroughly. Worth the money and time!

  • Introduction to Filmmaking

    Reviewed by Tony H on 4/3/2018
    So many times, we as actors forget the play of acting. You go into class and everything's like, ‰ÛÏGreat work‰Û: like everything's work. At The Barrow Group, it really came from this other perspective: ‰ÛÏThis is play.‰Û That was a really great time. I would say that was my most significant training.

  • Introduction to Filmmaking

    Reviewed by Andrew A on 4/3/2018
    I had a great experience with the Barrow Group's Filmmaking for Actors class. The class helped me to jump start my filmmaking ‰Û÷career' with everything from writing all the way to shooting and editing. One of the biggest takeaways for me was what I learned about screenwriting; having always wanted to write this class provided me with the foundations to take ideas and turn them into fully thought out scripts. It also provided me with experience in every aspect of being on set to create a film; giving me the opportunity to do everything from being a boom operator, to script supervisor, to DP, to director. Over the course of 12 weeks I obtained the abilities to start with an idea, turn that into a screenplay and then bring it to life as an original short film. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is serious about creating film.
