Who Should Come:

The Rocky Mountain Hand-Made Filmmaking Camp is for anyone serious about working specifically in the medium of film as an art form.  Its focus is on experimental film, and it is fundamentally about film itself.  It is open to both beginners and veterans alike, requiring only a desire to understand the medium, its nature, applications, and role in an artistic life.  It is for those adventurous souls who want to know answers to questions that can be answered about what the physical stuff of film is, and a context in which to seek and ask questions for which there are no answers; who are comfortable with not knowing only when it reflects an encounter with something genuinely unknown, who are not content with abandoning the insights of science to the prerogatives of a technological world seemingly gone mad, but would claim some small part of that legacy for the creation of what is merely beautiful or true or true to them; who are not content with the compartmentalization of knowledge that separates and divides the sum of what is known into impotent fragments, but who would, through their love of film, reconstitute something of the wholeness that can be imagined; who want to take a stab at developing intelligent and original techniques and methods for themselves. Or maybe you just want to learn to tone and process color film: in either event, this camp is for you!
