Screenwriting Goes Online With Zaki Gordon Institute

CORONA DEL MAR, Calif., March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- R/com Networks, in association with the Zaki Gordon Institute for Independent Filmmaking is pleased to announce the launch of the Zaki Gordon Institute Online (http://www.zakigordoninstitute.com/). The first program includes a screenwriting series delivered by noted screenwriter Dan Gordon. The Institute will teach filmmaking skills through a combination of online classes available to students on demand and through DVDs.

"We know that the public is hungry for classes on filmmaking, whether that's screenwriting or guerilla filmmaking or non-linear editing," said R/com Networks' CEO David Barrett. "The Zaki Gordon Online Institute will offer all those titles. But more importantly, all the classes will be taught by working, award-winning filmmakers. That's what gives this education its value."

The Zaki Gordon Online Institute is the e-learning component of the Zaki Gordon Institute for Independent Filmmaking at Yavapai College in Sedona, Arizona. The Institute is devoted to instruction in independent digital filmmaking and takes an immersive, two-year approach to teaching both narrative and documentary film formats. The Institute is named for acclaimed screenwriter Dan Gordon's eldest son, who was killed at the age of 22. Zaki was a brilliant filmmaker who made his film independently despite studio interest in his screenplay. You can learn more about the Institute online at http://www.zaki.yc.edu/.

"The Institute can only admit so many students each year into our Sedona program," said Dan Gordon. "But with some of our master's classes being offered online and on DVD, that gives us a chance to reach a whole new, and much broader audience."

The Zaki Gordon Online Institute premieres with a seminar in screenwriting, taught by Institute founder Dan Gordon. Students who sign up for the class will receive a three-DVD set as a companion to the online class. Other classes currently in development are Guerilla Filmmaking and Movie Editing with Final Cut Pro.
