Tryon International Film Festival is opening up its filmmaking workshops to the general public for free this year, Oct. 7-9, 2022. During the three-day weekend in the picturquese Town of Tryon in the North Carolina foothills, there will be 12 workshops and discussion groups, covering topics from screenwriting to acting. You do not have to be a Film Fest ticket holder to attend the workshops and discussion groups.
The Festival, now in its 8th year, piloted offering educational opportunities last year, and it was so successful, twice as many programs are offered this year. And, through sponsorships, all of the educational programs will be free to both the general public and ticket holders. The programs are designed to be interesting and useful for anyone -- casual interest to professional development.
While the breakout sessions are free, RSVPing in advance ensures your seat in select workshops. You can register online at TryonInternationalFilmFestival.org, search under “education.”
