Intro to Filmmaking is a detailed, hands-on introduction to the complete filmmaking process while producing a short digital film with High Definition (HD) cameras. Students will learn about the various aspects of pre-production, production, and post-production and will gain experience in different crew positions, all while making a quality 3-5 minute short film, with up to 4 characters, and up to 2 locations. This course will be open to ALL ages, but is ideal for those at least 16 years of age. The final film project will be premiered on a large screen at a local theater for friends and family, and students will receive a copy of the film for their portfolio.
Our beginner film class is held 6:30 – 9:30 pm, weekly for 8 weeks. There will be a minimum of two shooting days, as well as 1-2 actor audition days (dates/times to be determined in class, dependent on actor, student, and location availability) that will be held outside of regular class. Students as a group will also be responsible for providing craft services for the actors on shooting days.
Cost for the course is $595 and includes all access to film cameras and equipment. A $50 non-refundable deposit will be needed to secure the registration. Wanting to sign up for multiple classes? Check out our Package Options! Contact us to discuss registration, class location, and for directions.

The seating for the movie begins at 3:30pm but we’ll be open before that if you want to arrive early and grab a beer, cocktail or a taco!
Also, our awesome RR krewe has just finished installation of 3 new Garden Igloos. These geodesic dome structures add great insulation and wind barrier for enjoying our space on chilly days! For now, they are first come, first serve. Though they have windows and a door for ventilation, please do not enter an igloo with anyone outside of your quarantine pod. Masks are still required at all times when visiting Rabbit Rabbit, except when you are actively eating or drinking. We have a special electrostatic disinfectant sprayer that will be used to sanitize the space and all surfaces between groups of guests. As always, Rabbit Rabbit staff do not provide table service and will not be entering Igloos while occupied by our guests. Due to sightlines, they will not be available as ticketed movie viewing seats.
