Drama Workshop with Professional Directors and Actors

On October, 8^th the Mill Valley Film Festival came to The Marin School as the film and drama departments had the pleasure of hosting the co-directors Stephanie Argy and Alec Boehm and two cast members Donal Thoms-Capello and Meg Brogan from one of the festival’s excellent feature films, The Red Machine. In preparation for the visit, the TMS drama students prepared scenes from the film’s script, a 1930’s-style caper; on the day of the visit the students shared their work live with the professionals. The students then viewed the same clips from the film, and ran through a mock filming of one of the scenes themselves with the professionals’ help. Local press and Mill Valley film representatives captured the morning’s events. All of the students appreciated hearing the professionals’ artistic insights and savored the unique learning opportunity.
