After announcing Tom Provost's terrific upcoming Cinema Language series of classes, which we are offering in a single, affordable package totaling up to 24 hours of instruction, many asked if there was a way to take the classes individually. We're happy to announce that, yes, you can take each class by itself, and be able to pick and choose which classes you'd most like to take. Of course, to get the best value, and to get the continuity that comes from taking it each weekend, you'll want to do the whole series. But below you'll find the links to each class' Eventbrite page.
Your SUBS promo code still works with any class you choose, and remember that discount is currently 30% off and is good until 11:55pm Tuesday, June 23rd. After that, the code will get you 20% off. It can be tricky finding where to input the promo code. Click the green TICKETS button, and then at the top of the next page, just above the words GENERAL ADMISSION, you'll see in blue Enter promo code.
