What is a Workshop?
A workshop is a short, intensive, total-immersion learning experience. A workshop can help you learn to use the latest technology, master your craft, develop a more sensitive eye, enable you to understand your talents and weaknesses better, become more creative, and find new inspiration and energy for the work you do.
In Rockport, our workshops are an opportunity to play, to experiment, to test new ideas and ways of working, to explore the creative process and get better at what you do.
For over 20 years, we have been, working to improve the structure of the one-week workshop. Our courses today provide a valuable learning and growth experience for the thousands of professionals, amateurs and students who come from around the world to spend a week or even as long as six months in Rockport.
Are you looking for inspiration? Do you want to find new ways to see and be creative? Are you eager to advance your career? Do you want to become more valuable in your job? Whatever your reason is, you get out of a workshop what you put into it.
Something happens during the week which you may not notice until you return home. Your work will show improvement. You may find you are working with greater command of the craft or with greater energy and more productivity.
Let me lead you through a typical week at The Workshops:
The pace will be demanding - you will be up at dawn rehearsing a scene, photographing the early morning light or finishing a rewriting of your script before the morning critique.
At breakfast you will be discussing today's schedule and yesterday's adventures with your classmates. Each afternoon and most evenings are filled with activity and it may be midnight before you return to your room. The mornings are generally spent listening to lectures, watching demonstration and participating in discussions dealing with technique, materials and equipment, new methods of working, jobs, careers, money, the- family and ways to become more creative. Part of the mornings may also be spent in tough and honest critiques.
The afternoons are for work - filmmakers are shooting scenes in the studios or on location, actors are rehearsing, photographers are printing in the darkrooms, and the writers arewriting.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, after dinner, there are screenings of important films and slide shows by Master photographers who freely discuss their methods of working and answer questions.
Thursday and Friday evening, after eating lobster, we screen the week's work of the filmmakers, followed by a show of the photographers' work.
Saturday morning is a time to debrief, to look at the last of the week's work, trade addresses and discuss the future. Many people remain in town for a day, doing the things they did not have time for all week - shopping, swimming with new friends in the lake, dining in Camden.
I hope you will have the opportunity to join us this summer. I look forward to helping you achieve your creative potential and realize you rcareer goals ...

Marketing a Film
Filmmakers who learn how to market and how to communicate with clients are the ones who make films.
You have nothing to sell, of course, except yourself - and the promise that you can deliver a film that meets your client's needs.
Don't try for a film that will win prizes. If you try for a film that will best serve your client's needs, you will find yourself with a prizewinner ... and a recommendation for another job.
Your reputation is as good as your last film. You build a reputation by taking care of business every day as though your reputation were at stake, because it is.
Knowing how to make a film - knowing how to use the medium to communicate a message - is not enough if you are to become successful. You must also know how to communicate with people who need the films so that you can get a chance to use your creative talents. In business, that's known as marketing.
Your marketing should begin with a sensible look at what you have to offer. In reality, film is not what you have to offer. What you have to offer are solutions to problems, using film as the medium for communication. That's what nontheatrical filmmaking is all about.
There are several areas open to the nontheatrical filmmaker - business, education, special interest groups, vacation resorts, governmental agencies. All have a use for sponsored nontheatrical films: films that teach, films that promote, films that pass along information.
Basically, there are three types of communication problems: those related to skill and knowledge, motivational problems, and problems of information; and of course, some communication problems are a combination of the three.
The point is. business spends money to make money. A smart business person will provide the money to make a film once there is an understanding that film will help solve a problem. Your job is to discover where a film will help.
