Optional Advanced Labs

The optional Advanced Labs are much more hands-on and so we are limiting these spaces to 12 people. These will be real-world learning experiences with a full-blown production to finish out our week.

These labs will immediately follow the EBFS on Friday, July 17th and Saturday, July 18th. NOTE: Participation in the main Erwin Brothers Film School is a required for the Advanced Labs and you must register

The labs are optional and cost $249 in addition to the EBFS tuition. You can register for both the EBFS+Advanced Labs here.
