Planet Ant

The Planet Ant Film Farm Team
Planet Ant provides a yearly film focused program designed to foster a small group of artists through the creative and technical journey of film production. Each year participants are encouraged to audition for a high level program designed to create an interdependent group of creatives that are looking to make something original with a core group of artists. Guidance includes equipment, writing, shooting, theory, and hands-on instruction. At the end of the year participants host their own red carpet premiere with whatever project the group has decided upon.

Planet Ant Film Class
Film classes are segmented into 5 levels each consisting of 6 weeks. Students are given instruction that begins with visual writing and story production. They are then given the framework and instruction to create their own fully fledged festival ready short film. The class serves as its own crew as each member takes turns as the writer/director on their own shoot.
