Masters In Motion
With our ever expanding connections to Hollywood heavy hitters, world class agencies and our finger on the pulse of the filmmaking community, we believe we are putting together the best pound for pound filmmaking workshop on the planet. 3 days of education that is a perfect mix of inspiration, lecture and hands on practical knowledge.
Key Locations
Philadelphia
Famous as the birthplace of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, Philadelphia delivers one destination, five counties and countless things to do: museums, vibrant parks, national historic sites and famous (and delicious) food. Loaded with culture and close to museum row, Center City's northwestern neighborhood, Logan Square is close to all the action yet off the beaten path.
The Hotel
If you’re joining us from out of town we’ve got you covered. We’ve secured some great options for lodging which are all located just steps from this year’s locations. We have a group rate of $189 per night at the Windsor Hotel which can be booked by clicking here.

The Franklin Institute
Located in the heart of Philadelphia’s Art Museum area, The Franklin Institute is one of America's most celebrated museums. The Franklin Theater has cinema-style seating, a full surround sound system, acoustical treatment, a high contrast perforated screen, and a state-of-the-art high definition digital 3D projection system. It’s the perfect setting for an immersive 3 day experience.
The Film Fair
We’ve partnered up with Expressway Cinema Rentals to build on the success of their annual Summer Gear Expo! This year, we are taking over the 23rd St. Armory for two days of exhibits from the leading film industry brands for this year’s Film Fair. On Wednesday, June 17th from 12pm to 8pm and Thursday, June 18th from 12pm to 8pm you’ll get to get your hands on the latest and greatest gear and hear from leading industry experts on our main stage. Stay tuned for a full list of vendors and our main stage schedule.
THE LINEUP
In any creative field, many things are subjective. That is why every year we always gather a diverse group of speakers who are all successful working professionals from various backgrounds. We have everyone from indie filmmakers, to smaller boutique production houses to people working on Hollywood feature films and everything in between.
Our roster has included directors, cinematographers, editors, writers, production designers, producers, colorists, sound mixers and everything in between. To see a full list of our past roster click here.
THE FORMAT
Some people learn best in a lecture based environment, while others do better in a more intimate hands-on setting. We don’t think you should have to choose one or the other, which is why we have combined the best of both worlds. We have both lecture based presentations on Tuesday and Thursday and a full day of break-out sessions on Wednesday.
AFTER HOURS
There is something about good old fashioned social networking that can’t be beat when it comes to making meaningful connections. Before Twitter and Snapchat, people talked face to face. Nightly memorable organized hang outs may be optional but trust us, you don't want to miss these. This is where the real magic happens.
Friendships are forged over a handshake and a cold beverage.
