Upcoming Classes, Workshops & Educational Events
Due to the contraction of film and television work in the U.S., The PA Academy is expanding it's training to include live events such as music, film and arts festivals, corporate conventions, event staging and light stagehand work to increase the arsenal of skills to make you more desirable as a freelancer.
The budget isn't coming. Let's make it happen anyway. Lean & Mean: The Art of Low-Budget Short Film Producing is a hands-on full-day workshop for filmmakers ready to stop guessing and start producing.
We’ll build a real budget from a real script, talk about where money actually goes, why insurance isn’t optional, how to stretch every dollar (and every favor), and how to allocate limited funds without sabotaging your film.
Join us for a discussion with filmmakers from our most recent season of 100 Feet of Film as they talk about their individual experiences participating in the program and shooting on film.

At this month's Eat, Drink, and B-Indie, we're breaking down what it actually takes to get your film submission-ready: picking the right festivals for your project, nailing your synopsis and stills, technical specs and delivery formats, and avoiding the common mistakes that get films passed over before they're even watched.

Looking to break into the industry but not sure where to start? Volunteering at the Atlanta Film Festival is one of the best-kept secrets for building real connections.
