The Directing workshop is designed to give you an idea of the many responsibilities of a director from preproduction to production. You’ll start by analyzing a scene for dramatic content and creating a shot list and a shooting plan for the scene. Then, guided by your instructor, an experienced film and television director, you’ll collaborate with actors in the Acting workshop to put your shooting plan into action, effectively communicating with your cast while blocking and shooting a scene. This workshop is an intense, 3-hour college-level experience that gives you a preview of life as a Columbia College Hollywood directing student.
The Acting workshop is an immersive introduction to the art and craft of acting at the college level. Guided by your instructor, a deeply experienced screen and stage actor, you’ll learn body, vocal, and acting exercises that form a professional actor’s essential toolkit. You’ll perform cold reads of monologues and scenes then take on dramatic scripted material to craft your own original interpretation of a character. This workshop is an intense 3-hour experience that will illuminate what it takes to build a career as an actor after college. You’ll leave with a better understanding of the actor’s technique and the expanded freedom of expression that technique provides.
In the Screenwriting workshop, you’ll experience what it’s like to work in our professional-style writersroom under the guidance of an experienced Hollywood screenwriter. You’ll brainstorm your own movie ideas, then you’ll apply the essential elements of screen story structure to workshop an original short film script. By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to identify fundamental characters, learn how to direct the film on the page, and discover why script formatting is key to a screenwriter’s success. This workshop is an intense, 3-hour college-level experience that will leave you better prepared to write scripts for your original film productions or to add to a portfolio of creative work you’ll need to apply for college scholarships.
In the Digital Sculpting workshop, you’ll experience what it is like to use state of the art digital sculpture tools used in animation and visual effects production. You’ll learn the fundamentals of using digital sculpture software and design your very own monster or creature right out of your imagination. By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to quickly and effectively conceptualize, design, iterate upon, and execute aesthetically pleasing three dimensional creatures and monster sculpts. This workshop, led by a professional digital sculptor, is an intense, 3-hour college-level experience that will leave you better prepared to enter the world of animation and visual effects.

At CCH, we believe it is important to take a stand by demonstrating our willingness to promote and inspire systemic change. We must speak honestly and truthfully to the ugliness of racism that permeates throughout our society today. It may be an uncomfortable conversation for some, but it is an all-too familiar reality for anyone living in this country with black or brown skin. Hiding from it, ignoring it, or being silent about it will not make it go away.
