1 Week Until Film 1 Starts!

Woooooo!
1 week until Film 1 starts.
I will be emailing Family group and Student group this weekend and during the week.
Here are the basics:
Film 1 - June 8-12 - 9am -3pm.
Film 2 the week after.
Please get there as close to 9am and 3pm as possible.
I am working on prep right until 9, and leave soon after 3 to get supplies, props, etc for the next day.
The weather looks like it is going to play along, but still dress appropriately for wet, muggy, and warm conditions.
I will have bug spray but I would wear sunscreen and if you like a hat and sunglasses.
Please bring a sack lunch Mon-Thurs.  We will have pizza on Friday.
I will always have iced tea, lemonade, water, and some snacks handy.
Monday we will be in the house most of the time writing, brainstorming, and planning but we will go on safari a bit.  Tues-Thurs we will most likely be outside the majority of the time.  Fri mainly indoors finishing editing.  We will work around any weather conditions.
Each class is $550.  You can bring a check the first couple days of the class.
Excitement is high.

2 Weeks Until Film Classes Start!

Every film that gets into a film festival gets a movie poster made.

Above is the poster from last summer's film Michael.

2015 Summer classes start 2 weeks from today!

Film 1 - June 8-12 - 9am-3pm - $550.

Film 2 - June 15-19 - 9am-3pm - $550.

We live on the east side of White Rock Lake.

If you are interested in attending please look through the many years of this blog for info and links to past films. Contact me at 214-516-3571, or email here.

Both classes are almost full.

Excitement is high.

When I get emails confirming a spot, I build email chains so people can look for carpools.

Mon-Thurs each student brings a sack lunch.  Friday we have a pizza party.

I will provide some snacks, lemonade, iced tea, and water.

There is a long tradition of summer film folks having a great time, learning a lot, and making great films.  These films often get into film festivals.

The usual schedule is Monday planning and sharing ideas.  Tuesday-Thursday producing.  And Friday finishing post production and wrapping up.

Please page back through this blog for lots and lots of information.

Don't hesitate to contact me with questions or to confirm a spot.

Thank you.

3 weeks until Film Classes!

I've been seeing Queen Anne's Lace and scissor-tails around the neighborhood at White Rock Lake.  This is always a harbinger for the beginning of the Summer Classes!  There are just a couple spots left for the Film 1 and Film 2 classes.
Film 1 June 8-12 - 9am-3pm - $550
Film 2 June 15-19 - 9am-3pm - $550
All you need to bring is a sack lunch Mon-Thurs for each camp.
We have a pizza party on Friday.
Both classes are at our home on White Rock Lake.
9257 Biscayne Blvd. Dallas, TX 75218
We use the lake as a great location for our films.
Both camps use professional supplies to make narrative films.
If you have any questions please call and leave a message on my cell at 214-516-3571.
Or email me at doylesummerfilm@gmail.com
When you contact me that you want to attend, I will add you to the email class list.
This helps if you want to get carpools together.
This is always a great summer tradition.
We just had several of our summer films at the Jesuit Film Festival.
We had 3 of the 6 finalists at the Austin Film Festival.  The only films from Texas.
Total this school year 26 of my students' films have been in film festivals this year.
Go team!
(Please note that this is a blog so there is lots of pertinent and interesting info if you scroll through the past few years of classes)

4 Weeks until Film Classes Begin

We had 7 films at the Jesuit Film Festival last weekend, bringing this school year to 26 different films in festivals so far.
It's amazing that film classes begin in 4 weeks.
Film 1 is June 8-12, Film 2 is June 15-19.
We live at 9257 Biscayne Blvd., Dallas, 75218.
It is on the east side of White Rock Lake, very close to the Bath House.
We start at 9am and finish at 3pm.
Mon-Thurs please bring a sack lunch.  I will have some snacks, iced tea, and lemonade.
On Friday we end the week with a pizza party, so no need to bring lunch.
I will give lots more info as we get closer.
There are still a couple of spots left for each week, but they are very close to being full.
Go team!
