As a supporter of the West Branch Children's Film Festival (which takes place July 31-August 2), we here at the Initiative want our readers to be aware that award winning Michigan filmmaker Richard Brauer will be teaching a workshop on filmmaking as part of the Film Festival Workshop series in West Branch, Michigan.
The workshop takes place Saturday, January 17, 2009 at the West Branch Library on N. 4th St. in downtown West Branch at 1pm. Admission is $5 and Mr. Brauer will be explaining how to get into film making and how to make films (there's far more to it than that, but I don't have the information at this moment).
Richard Brauer has worked on "Frozen Stupid" in Houghton Lake, "Mr. Art Critic" on Mackinac Island, and most recognized with "Escanaba in da Moonlight" with fellow Michigander Jeff Daniels.

This is the first workshop in what the festival hopes to be a series of workshops leading up to the Children's Film Festival.
