Northwest Film Forum Class: Tradecraft vs. Momentcraft, Blackbox Theater
Thurs., March 24: 6-9 p.m.
Led by Don Thacker of Imagos Films, this is a free class by Northwest Film Forum. Some filmmakers just pick up a camera and dive headfirst into making a film project. However, many argue that before randomly picking up a camera and setting out to shoot some footage, it’s important to first do your due diligence in researching and building a base of experience and technical knowledge. This is a FREE discussion exploring the advantages and disadvantages of those two schools of thought.

Dear Campus,

Congratulations on another successful and exciting quarter! We would like to thank you for the collaboration experienced in supporting students and their success. We look forward to continuing to partner with you! Faculty have requested a statement about Success Coaching to be provided on their syllabi and we thank you for this opportunity!

Success Coaching: Syllabi Statement

Similar to coaching programs used by entrepreneurs, business owners, and professional athletes, Shoreline Community College provides students with Success Coaching to help you develop your academic skills. Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that works with you on study skills, goal setting, time management, balancing life’s priorities, and organization. Coaches also help you identify and connect to other resources. Coaching is not counseling, advising, or tutoring.
