In partnership with Three Dollar Bill Cinema, Blanket Fort Films wants YOU to prepare for the 2nd edition of the TWIST 3-Day Filmmaking Challenge, with three, action-packed evenings in motion picture heaven!

This year’s theme is Queer Sci-Fi, so start off with Kino MacFarland and her Sci-Fi/Horror media literacy course; spend the next evening learning camera, lights, and audio with Brody Willis, Executive Director of Blanket Fort Films; and end the week with SFX make-up artist, Remy Blaustein, who will show you how to create low-to-no budget looks for your out-of-this-world masterpiece!

Take one class. or take them all – there is a sliding scale for admission, but no-one will be turned away due to lack of funds. Open to the public!
