Engagement Timeline
Every stage of your engagement, who owns each one, and exactly what is happening now. This page stays current as the work moves, so it is always the single source of truth.
The three things that move this forward now
Registration stands at 14 of 15 seats (City update, Oct 29). Please send the final count at the registration cutoff, so seats, laptops and accounts match the roster.
The full curriculum is rebuilt around the confirmed session pattern, so each session stands on its own and still builds toward the finished film.
Two Broward-certified instructors are contracted, cleared, and trained on the full program before they stand in front of students. Instructor training runs on two evenings at the Ansin Sports Complex, Monday November 9 and Tuesday November 10, starting at 4:00 PM.
