Educational partners, film industry pros to offer job training workshops

Educational partners, film industry pros to offer job training workshops

SHREVEPORT, LA – A two-part workshop focused on film industry training will begin July 31 at the Robinson Film Center. The first session, called “Introduction to Film Production,” will be taught by movie producer Michael Flannigan and held at the film center. The second session, beginning September 11, is called “Getting Your First Job in the Film Industry.” It will be led by leaders in the Shreveport-Bossier film industry, including Lampton Enochs (producer/unit production manager), Cyndi Brenner (unit production manager) and Seth Hansen (assistant director). This session will be held at Southern University at Shreveport Metro Center.
The workshops are funded by the City of Shreveport and the United Way of Northwest Louisiana in partnership with the film center; the Consortium for Education, Research and Technology of North Louisiana (CERT); Southern University at Shreveport; Louisiana Production Consultants; Millennium Films’ Studio Operations; and CoHabitat Shreveport.


At a press conference at 1:30 p.m. July 9 at the Robinson Film Center, the film industry leaders were joined by Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover to discuss these new training opportunities.
The workshops are designed for people seeking jobs in the movie and TV industry or for those contemplating a transition to film work from their current trade.


“It is with great pride that we can say today that our local and area film production has increased tremendously this year,” Mayor Glover said. “With our new film workshops, there is no question that we will grow even more and with classes taught by renowned local film professionals such as Mick Flannigan, will only boost us up to another level."


“Breaking into the industry is competitive, and it’s important for job-seekers to know how to present themselves to potential employers,” Flannigan said. “In these workshops, we will offer them a detailed overview of what kinds of jobs are available. We will explain how a movie production really works day in and day out. And we will offer insights into what they need to know to be successful.”


About Michael Flannigan
While heading up Nu Image/Millennium Films’ operations in Shreveport, Flannigan produced or executive produced seven movies in the area. Projects included “Cleaner” (2007) starring Samuel L. Jackson, “Mad Money” (2008) starring Katie Holmes, and “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” (2009) starring Michael Douglas. Flannigan was central to developing plans for the Millennium Ledbetter Heights Film Studio, which is currently under construction in Shreveport. Flannigan left Millennium Films in 2008. He currently lives in Shreveport and is leading a film investment fund.
