The 2-Day Cine School with Tom Antos Trailer Video
Participating in the Workshop Series with Tom Antos was an incredible experience that I found both inspiring and deeply fulfilling. I've always had a passion for entertainment, particularly the kind that explores complex characters who defy traditional notions of good and evil. Discovering this program, and the energetic community that came with it, was a dream come true.
Throughout the series, I was able to delve into the art of filmmaking in ways I had only imagined before. The hands-on approach, especially during the Master Classes, was particularly invaluable. Being able to experiment with equipment, work through different roles like director and cinematographer, and actually create something alongside others who shared my passion, gave me the kind of practical experience I was craving.
What truly resonated with me was the focus on storytelling. I've always been drawn to characters like Bane from the Batman series—a hero in his own right, yet also a victim of circumstances, embodying the ultimate outsider. This workshop gave me the tools to start crafting my own characters with similar depth and nuance. It was thrilling to explore how to weave narratives that challenge the clear-cut boundaries between good and evil, pushing audiences to think deeper about the characters they encounter.
The program didn’t just equip me with technical skills; it fueled my creative ambitions. I left each session with a head full of ideas and a clear sense of direction for my own projects. The program offered me more than just a running start; it was a launchpad that has set me on a path toward achieving my goal of developing characters that leave a lasting impact.
Being a part of this series felt like stepping into the world of filmmaking for the first time. The knowledge, support, and inspiration I gained here have given me the confidence to move forward with my dreams, knowing I have the skills to back them up. [Marsh Watts]
