Course contents

The series of classes will introduce the current American film industry with a wider focus on Los Angeles and New York areas to students. Our guests represent in detail the work of an independent producer, a film agent, a director, a PR agent in the field of the Oscar Awards, a game developer, a film studio executive or a TV company executive etc.

Guests invited to the class are active in the film/television industry and they are ready to share experiences and news in the field of their particular profession. The master class is offered in a real time via a video conference call.

Each student prepares a minimum of five questions per guest, which will be shared with lecturers and guests a week prior to the class via a shared Google document. It is necessary to send these questions in advance (and on time) because guests need time to prepare for the upcoming class.

Attendance at all classes is obligatory.
