Hollywood DIY
Learn Hollywood techniques over an intensive weekend with Raindance. Image concept from ConsumptionJunction.com

It's movies everywhere these days. Paris Hilton had barely downed her last Red Bull at Sundance before they started dishing out Golden Globes, only to clear the path for Oscar fever with this Tuesday's nominations.

Launch party at the Foundry tonight as cult art magazine ROJO from Spain introduces its ROJO.mais issue and the 23 Poets CD from Mushroom Temple Records is launched. 7pm. 86 Great Eastern St, EC2. Free.

Elliot Grove, writer, producer and founder of Raindance, the UK independent film festival, offers you an entry ticket this weekend. Don't worry, although Keanu and Bennifer prove that talent isn't a necessity for Hollywood stardom, we're not proposing that you take the thespian route to Tinseltown.

This intensive weekend seminar teaches you how to produce, direct and sell your first feature film, all on a low-to-no budget. So even if you don't have a sugar daddy or a fat City bonus to bankroll your filmmaking ambitions, you could still have a shot at making it big.

The course comes highly recommended by Matthew Vaughn, producer of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, but who needs such endorsements - if Mr Madonna could make it big, what's from stopping us?
