Ridgewood Film School opens for all skill-level filmmaking classes this winter

The Ridgewood Film School is ready for a new group of students to learn independent filmmaking. Taught by cult movie and music video director Dylan Mars Greenberg, the program teaches students how to produce their own film, from forming an idea to filming and editing, which equipment that is readily available. “What I'm trying to teach in this class is not just how to make a film, but how to make a film without the resources provided by a studio,” said Greenberg. “Many other film courses give people equipment that they wouldn't normally have in their everyday life. I'm trying to show people that all you need is a camera and a laptop, and we all are going to use our phones so that we're all on equal footing.” Greenberg, who has directed content for Adult Swim and Rage and has been featured in Rolling Stone and NPR, starts the class by making a film on day one, and as the weeks go on, students are fully immersed in every aspect of filmmaking.
