FREE! Take part in or simply observe a 90-minute workshop with local filmmakers Christian Banda, KT Baldassaro (Smith ’06), and Alex Manugian. Whether it’s a short film, a music video, a TV pilot, or a feature film, they’ll share their many years of experience and dive deep into the essential elements all pitches must have. In a lively, warm, and engaging environment, come watch participants and instructors work together to best frame their ideas and voices. Every participant will receive EFF 2026 merchandise. This event is free to all members of the Smith community and the community at large.
