Funny Shorts: Making Comedy Films

Ask any writer; it’s easy to make someone cry, but making them laugh is takes work. In this class students will examine the special skills it takes to make funny movies. From Shakespeare to Will Ferrell, you will learn about how comedy works and why. Then students will work on their own short films, and figure out how making people laugh can be hard work and a lot of fun at the same time.
