Workshops

Belvedere Home Made Film Festival Β· 2026

Free Filmmaking Workshops

No experience, no equipment, no plan required. Just show up β€” and leave with something you made.

πŸ“ Belvedere Tiburon Library
πŸ•™ Saturdays, 11am – 1pm
✨ All Ages Welcome
πŸ’Έ Completely Free

Every Saturday we gather, learn one filmmaking idea, and make a short film together β€” right there, on our phones. Each workshop has its own theme and creative constraint. Drop in for one or come back for them all β€” every session stands on its own, and returnees build on what they’ve learned.

What to Expect

How the Workshops Work

01

Show Up

No signup needed. Walk in at 11am with nothing but yourself β€” all equipment is your phone.

02

Learn One Idea

Each session focuses on a single filmmaking concept β€” storytelling, framing, sound, editing, and more.

03

Make Something

Apply the concept on the spot with a creative constraint. You’ll leave with a short film you actually made.

04

Come Back

Each session stands alone, but returnees build on what they’ve learned. The more you come, the more you grow.
