UMFO offers immersive two-day workshops that explore key departments on a film set. From Production Assistants and Grip & Electric to Wardrobe, Hair & Makeup, Art, and more—these sessions provide hands-on training and insider knowledge to help you build essential on-set skills.
This workshop introduces students to the key roles on a film set—from camera and lighting to sound and production design. Learn how film crews collaborate, communicate, and bring stories to life. Through guided exercises and a team-based short film project, students will gain real-world experience and insight into the art of filmmaking.
