Filmmaker Jamie Howell is set to teach a Spring Break Film Workshop March 25 to Central Oregon high school students who are participants in Caldera’s year-round Youth Program. Over three days, Howell will guide the students through every step of the filmmaking process, from concept to final cut. This will include conducting interviews with artists from the Confederated Tribes at Warm Springs and filming them as they work. Each completed documentary will feature a different artist.
Howell is one of nine artists completing a residency with Caldera in March and his position was created through a collaboration between Caldera, BendFilm, and The Museum at Warm Springs.
Howell will present during Open Studios at the Caldera Arts Center on Saturday, March 25 at 12:30pm.
