How Improvisation Can Improve Your Filmmaking

Improvisation is a form of performance in which the players have no script. Free of traditional methods and constraints, improv gives filmmakers and actors complete freedom to explore characters and relationships in depth and capture genuine authenticity on camera. It allows you to speed up production, make more films, and ultimately save time and money by working efficiently at all stages of film production.

Suitable for aspiring filmmakers or more experienced artists looking for a new approach to film, How Improvisation Can Improve Your Filmmaking will inspire you through the creative freedom improvisation fosters, and how putting away the script can lead to new discoveries, making your own work, behind and in front of the camera, fresh and exciting.
