Prsented by Film Victoria, this seminar will examine how to work with genre and genre hybrids, and how to incorporate genre elements into your work. Simon van der Borgh and Jonathan Rawlinson will lead a practical, interactive workshop exploring film genre for writers, directors, producers and developers.
Why Genre and Genre Hybrids?
- Bad genre may be easy, but great genre is incredibly tough; and
- Genre Hybrids (such as SHAUN OF THE DEAD) and dramas that incorporate genre elements (such as LANTANA) are a great way for independent films to appeal to a wider audience.
