The story from my mini-workshop came out. It's not so bad at all, and the misquotes/typos are minor. Still trying to figure out a reasonable time frame to do the full workshop. It's gonna have to be summer, I just don't know exactly when.

is 20 a good turn-out for the seminar? what do you do in the full workshop?
20 was an unexpectly high turnout for the seminar- a small enough group to allow more discussion; less crowd control. For the actual workshop, there's a ceiling of about 12 participants, 'cause we need enough gear and enough time for a great deal more hands-on participation.
By hands-on, I *don't* mean the participants are groping each other. I mean each participant shoots, edits, and (if they choose) shows the group a 3 minute smut tape over a 9-day period. 4 of those days are weekend workshop (covering ethics, basic legal issues, camera technique, casting, editing, audio, marketing, etc), and the week in between is the production time, when participants take turns taking the cameras home to do the actual shooting/performing. We invite participants to have performers AND back-up performers lined up in advance, and I offer some support around casting issues to registrants before the workshop, but I don't provide performers or negotiate with performers on behalf of participants. the venue changes from year to year.
Details of the last year's workshop price and time may change. The general outline will remain constant. Dunno if this answers your questions- feel free to drop me a line if it doesn't.
