new studios are finally complete. Check it out and grab some free dinner while
you’re there.
This coming Saturday, September 7th , we are organizing a trip to the Hi Mom
Film Festival in Carrboro which showcases short films from around the country
and world. We are covering the costs of the ticket, so if you are interested in
going, email

program at Duke. There are still several courses with openings:
FVD 162S Visiting Filmmaker Master Course

Freewater is accepting grant applications for Fall semester. If you have an idea
for a film, we offer development assistance and advice. Applications can be
found in the grants section of the website; submit all applications to
sg57@duke.edu.
Freewater will be hosting another workshop late September covering equipment
usage.

For those of you who came out to the cinematography
workshop on the 20th, we hope you left with some new useful knowledge. Steve
Milligan, our resident industry advisor, demonstrated some basic lensing,
lighting, and camera movement techniques, using Freewater equipment.
Freewater is kicking off the year with it's first grant project -- "Plug"
directed by David Hankla. It is a short narrative about a paranoid and
near-insane man who discovers an intruder in his home. For more information on
the project or to get involved, contact David Hankla at
