Produce a PSA: A Film Production Workshop

Adapting True Stories, Novels or Plays for Film

Are you a filmmaker who wants to save the planet, or just make a difference within your local community? Come and learn how your artistic talent can change a life, one PSA at a time! In this intensive one-day film production workshop, aspiring producers will learn how to manage a pro-bono public service announcement film production. You will be guided step-by-step through the details, planning and paperwork involved in budgeting, hiring crews, getting equipment, location scouting, union signatories, casting and auditions, pulling permits, contracts, and music clearances.

Additional concepts covered include how to write an effective PSA script, and insider secrets for acquiring donated labor, services, equipment and airtime. A film production manual is provided.

If a movie or TV show says it is 'based on' or 'inspired by' true events, what exactly does that mean? Movies cannot exactly follow the truth - they are only an interpretation of real life that generally must fit into a two-hour time frame. The nature of writing a true story or adapting source material for the screen often involves losing subplots, combining or cutting characters, leaving out main themes, and finding the beginning, middle and end of a dramatic story line. This course is geared to help the screenwriter, producer and film director bring true stories to life, as well as the novelist and playwright who want to convert their own material into a screenplay. Movies discussed during class, whose writers successfully faced this difficult task, will include Titanic, We Are Marshall, The Untouchables, The Queen, Seabiscuit and others. Students will learn by example, and will understand why some adaptations don't work and why others do.

This series of evening programs promises to be an entertaining and informative social experience designed to help you accomplish just those things. Interesting dishes will be demonstrated, plated and served right before your eyes – either by a resident culinary instructor or visiting chef – and then paired with wines by local experts who will be in attendance to discuss each selection. Themes will be designed to both fit the season and explore the world's many interesting cuisines and wine-making regions.

The evening will begin with a social hour and move into seating for a multi-course dinner and ‘the show’.

Salatin's philosophy that food should be raised naturally, produced locally, and prepared lovingly with reference to the seasons has inspired countless people to change the way they buy, raise, and prepare food. Salatin's philosophy continues to be the standard by which local food movements are compared. On this culinary excursion, students will tour Joel Salatin's farm, see how he conducts his business, and hear his interpretation of farming first-hand.

Following the tour, students will be treated to a farmer's brunch at Mockingbird, a restaurant/live music venue located in historic downtown Staunton which utilizes Polyface products. Note: Transportation for this trip is on University vans driven by approved drivers.

Edward “Gill” Watterson was a gifted graduate of the University of Richmond’s Landscape Design Program. Gill blossomed through the program and his enthusiasm for the industry and the education he received at the University of Richmond was contagious. He stood out from his class as an outstanding student in talent and spirit. His positive attitude not only carried him through the program and his fight against cancer with grace and dignity but also positively affected the outlook of his classmates and teachers.

Gill loved working in his garden. His change in career from an account manager at GE Lighting was done with pause and reflection. He was ready to nurture and focus his creative talent and the love of the outdoors from a hobby to a new career. After graduating from UR’s Landscape Design Program, Gill was hired as lead designer at Tuckahoe Landscaping Inc.,where he was able to implement his skills in landscape design throughout the Richmond area.

Gill reminds us that it is so important to fill our lives with something we enjoy and believe in.

We could think of no one else who would better honor the spirit of this journey of education than Gill. Gill’s optimistic outlook on life has inspired all who knew him.

To honor Gill, friends, family and colleagues have established a scholarship in his honor. This scholarship honors his love for the beauty of landscaping and will give others an opportunity to make a change in their lives and feel fulfilled as he did.

Those who knew Gill will remember him always, especially on a perfect spring day when talking with clients about their dreams and walking through beautiful gardens.

Fijian Massage Posterior and Side Lying

$50

NEW! Fijian massage is a method where therapists use nine different parts of their own feet to effectively massage clients who are lying on padded cushions on the floor. The main benefit of Fijian massage is that it saves the therapist's hands, thereby increasing the number of injury-free hours worked per day. This can raise the number of clients seen per day plus add to your career longevity. In addition, it helps clients to recover faster from muscle injuries, and most clients prefer the more gentle pressure from the heel of the foot instead of the elbow. All strokes can be done standing or sitting in a chair as the weight of your leg gauges the pressure. You do NOT walk on the client - you simply use one foot at a time while applying pressure. This course will cover the posterior and side lying positions of Fijian massage. In addition you will learn the history of the method; practice balance techniques; learn how to effectively massage clients with your feet; obtain marketing skills for Fijian massage; gain knowledge of the nine differ48

ent parts of the foot for various strokes, pressure and positioning; experience massaging while standing, sitting in a chair or reclining on the floor; recognize the importance of foot care; and become skilled at deep therapeutic and lighter relaxation strokes. This course is approved by NCBTMB for 8 hours. This course is open to massage therapists and the general public! Instructor is Lolita Knight, CMT. Visit her website at www.fijianmassage.com.

CoreStone - A Medical Approach to Stone Massage

NEW! CoreStone Massage Therapy blends the ancient art of stone massage with a uniquely designed stone tool that effortlessly facilitates deep muscle release. The ergonomic, cylindrical shape of CoreStones makes them easy to grip and causes less strain on the massage therapists' hands and wrists. The stones can be used lengthwise as a tool for myofascial release or turned on end to release trigger points. The stone covers a larger surface area than a thumb, so the client can tolerate more pressure with less trauma to the tissue. After the initial tissue release, the therapist can get into the muscle with less effort, saving their thumbs and facilitating a deeper release.

In this workshop you will master simple techniques that you will be able to incorporate safely and effectively into your massage practice; master easy temperature control for safe and appropriate use of hot or cold stone therapy; and learn easy care and maintenance of your stones to assure the highest standards of safety for your clients. This course is approved by NCBTMB for 16 hours of continuing education.

SUMMER 2012 THINK AGAIN

Study smarter. Not harder.

2012 Summer Reading Programs Three Programs for 4-Year-Olds through Entering 2nd Graders – Phonics • Comprehension • Independent Reading – Students in these programs make significant gains in phonics, sight vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. As a result, your child will become a fluent independent reader, build confidence, and become more successful in school.

Two Programs for Entering 3rd Graders and Entering 4th & 5th Graders – Fluency • Comprehension • Long-Word Decoding Students in these programs learn to read more fluently and rapidly and make significant gains in comprehension. They learn the longword decoding skills they need to read the many new words they encounter each day. As a result, your child will complete reading assignments more quickly and easily, be more successful in school, and become a strong, enthusiastic reader.

Two Programs for Entering 6th-8th and Entering 9th-11th Graders – Speed Reading • Comprehension • Study Skills In these programs, students make substantial gains in comprehension while doubling their reading speed. They learn the best way to read textbooks, take notes, and study for tests. Your son or daughter will complete homework assignments quickly and easily, get better grades, and become a more motivated student. Our students enjoy reading more and develop the lifelong habit of reading for pleasure.

For Adults, College Students, and Entering High School Seniors – Speed Reading for Work, School, and Pleasure In our adult speed reading program, you will learn to read twice as fast in difficult material, such as academic and professional journals or college textbooks. In easier reading, such as novels, newspapers, and most business and school materials, you will read three times faster. Additionally, the comprehension, concentration, and retention techniques you learn will enable you to remember more and cut down on re-reading. You'll get more out of everything you read, and find reading more enjoyable and personally rewarding. As a special bonus, you will receive a lifetime instruction privilege, which allows you to repeat the program at any time—for free!

These popular classes are taught by professional instructors from the Institute of Reading Development, which has been teaching these classes for over 35 years.
