The India International Film Festival of Tampa Bay (IIFF) is the first South Asian Film Festival in the country to launch an independent film school for aspiring filmmakers. The two-day film school will take place on Feb. 4-5. The opportunity allows students to get hands-on training with high-quality equipment while honing their craft through one-on-one lessons from experienced film professionals. It has lined up a team of instructors who have a wealth of knowledge in both television and film production. During the film school, students will learn about a wide range of topics, including screenwriting, pre-production, sound, lighting and camera operation. Most important, the students will produce their own short films, which will debut at the film festival. The film school costs $179.99 and seating is limited. For more information on the film school, visit www.iifftampa.com or contact Darshna Patel at darshna@iifftampa.com.
