Acting and Writing for the Camera
A Workshop with Nate Goodman (Director of Photography, “Falling Skies”, “Torchwood”, “Heroes”) + drinks to follow.
The camera is the central tool of film and television. The majority of actors and writers don’t know how to best take advantage of its gifts or avoid its potential pitfalls. The BUEG Actor / Writer Group invites all Brown alums to join us for a conversation with Nate Goodman ‘84 — one of the leading Directors of Photography in television — on how to make the most of every shot.
And speaking of shots, whether you can make it to the discussion or not, we’ll be doing a BUEG Social Night at St. Nick’s Pub afterwards, so whoever you are, you should come for that too.

Please join us as we celebrate this wealth of alumni talent with a special screening event and cocktail reception.
Join us for food, wine, and amazing films. Great chance to network with alumni working in the entertainment industry or simply enjoy great cinema.
Previous events have featured award-winning filmmakers such as Liz Garbus (The Farm: Angola, USA), Bill Lichtenstein (West 47th Street), Robin Hessman(My Perestroika), and Richard Yelland (Floating: The Nathan Gocke Story). Likewise, these events have been attended by the likes of Doug Liman, acclaimed filmmaker (Bourne Identity), John Krasinski, film/television actor (The Office), Amir Bar Lev (The Tillman Story), Amy Gossels (casting director), and others in the industry. Many of the films selected have gone on to greater glory at prominent film festivals like Sundance, Cannes, and Tribeca while others have made their way to the small screen.
Please note that this event sold out last year. This year, we have moved to a larger venue to accommodate more attendees and a larger reception area for socializing and networking.
