"May you live in interesting times" is an English expression actually based on a Chinese curse. Well, we certainly are experiencing interesting times in the film business. The best way to prepare for potential changes to our industry is to engage in training, embrace the process of learning advanced technologies, and support each other along the way.

In addition to offering classes, we also encourage the lighting community to contribute to our collective knowledge base. Open Source is a space for collaboration, dialogue and shared ideas… a place where you can take a class, teach a class, hold community events… or simply hang out, play with the gear, and get some expert help.
