Class Description:
This improvised longform will present an entire movie based on an audience suggested movie title. Use different camera shots and editing techniques to tell the story. Must like movies, films, or the moving pictures. If you don't like movies, this class is not for you.

In this class you'll explore fall/winter holiday genres & tropes only, using the genres to find game. Think Hallmark channel to Die Hard. Think Jack Frost to ThanksKilling. Think holiday horror flicks. But don't think Saving Christmas. You could maybe think Santa And The Ice Cream Bunny (1972), but not Saving Christmas. Please.
