In 2009, the Perth Film Network introduced the Break It Down Workshop. This workshop gave you an insight into the world of professional film and television and what is expected from cast and crew and the realities of the Film Industry by breaking down a professional film scene, on a professional set, in real time. It focused on understanding that the primary focus of any production is the film and the story. Cast and crew work together as a team, it's a collaboration and everybodies position on a film is equally important. Running a film production and a set is like a well oiled machine and if one element stops, the entire set stops. Film school teaches you the basics, there is just too much involved with a film production to put into a curriculum. Most of your learning will come from experience and your own research. Film, you will find, is a never ending journey and continued learning experience.

The Break it Down Workshop has now been split into a number of workshops that focus on important areas of film that are sometimes overlooked. These workshops and seminars are designed to help further your knowledge in film, learning from the experiences of top Industry Professionals. We will focus on breaking down important film elements such as Film Law, Funding and Distribution, Directing, Working with weapons, What you need to run a safe set and regular seminars in which we break down how a film set works and who does what?

Film is a business and we are in the business of film.

Learn what it is like to shoot a real gun in a safe environment.

There are a lot of Indie film makers doing action filmS or films that involve weapons, learn about your responsibilies and how it actually feels to fire a real weapon. Guns you get to shoot are .22 Revolver and Semi Automatic 9mm and a Shot Gun if you choose. It will depend upon what package you choose.
