Mainstage Chicago

Tomorrow 8/7, Join award-winning filmmakers Missy Hernandez & Miguel Silveira for a workshop on telling bold, ambitious stories, within real-world limits.

They’ll break down classic and alternative story structures, and dive into the practical considerations and necessities of making a film in one day, using one location, and (almost) no money.

💡 Bring your idea—leave with a plan.
Participants are encouraged to bring an idea they have for a short or feature film that can be adjusted to fit a limited time or funds they have to make it.
