- The International Film Institute of New York debuts its four-week filmmaking workshop at Southampton College of Long Island University on July 8.
The course, which will run through August 2, will bring together film students from as far away as Finland, Scotland, California and Florida, and as close as North Haven and Southampton. They will study all elements of the filmmaking process including producing, screenwriting, directing, acting, cinematography, editing, marketing and distribution.
The Institute was founded six months ago by three East End residents: Peter Katz, a film and TV producer whose numerous credits include the Robert Mitchum and Rita Heyworth movie "The Wrath of God" and 10 Perry Mason movies with Raymond Burr; Larry Singer, a veteran sound editor who now mainly works with Steven Spielberg; and Katherine Orloff, a former senior marketing executive at Columbia Pictures who has worked with promoted top films, including "Gandhi," "Tootsie" and "Ghostbusters"; along with New Yorkers Misael Sanchez, a production coordinator at Columbia University, and Fred Smithline, an attorney, with the guidance of John Reilly, an award-winning documentarian who is a film professor at Southampton College.
The Institute recently donated two 35mm projectors to the College for use in the Avram Theater. For further information, contact (212) 706-2225.
