It has been an exciting 10 years since the San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking has been helping filmmakers achieve their goals.
On Saturday February 7th we are planning a special day to celebrate the schools 10th anniversary and the students who have made our success possible.
From 3pm until 9pm we will be having forums, student screenings and SPECIAL GUESTS, in the evening there will be yummy food, drink and live entertainment.
One of the special events of the day is an Industry Panel: Feature Film Production in San Francisco. Two of our panelists are SUNDANCE Filmmakers and some of the best film producers in the Bay Area. See more details below:

It’s what I want to do.” http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0115379/
