Lights, camera, commendation!

The Boston Society of Film Critics passed a commendation earlier this month honoring the Dudley Film Program. Society President Paul Sherman applauded the program for providing “a vital, free forum for Boston’s media community to learn how to make, finance, market, and distribute independent films.” Now in its fourth year, the Dudley Film Program offers a wide array of workshops on topics ranging from screenwriting and directing to editing and distribution. All of the events hosted by the program are open to the Greater Boston community.
