Open to the community since April, the Levi’s Film Workshop at MOCA is a free workshop that allows people to come in and use its resources and equipment to make their own films.
There’s a camera equipment rental shop, editing stations, a slow-motion camera, a green screen, two stop-motion animation stations, DVD rentals, a phonotrope, and more. And all of it is free.
All activities in the Film Workshop are hands-on and children are encouraged to participate. The casual visitor to MOCA may poke around and learn something new, but there are even die-hard filmmakers using the facility every day to create their films, and director Spike Jonze was in recently using the equipment.
As part of community engagement, the space has partnered with local non-profit media arts center Echo Park Film Center (EPFC), to lead educational sessions every Sunday that cover topics ranging from Super8, 16MM Basics and home media mashup.
