    PRESENTER / SUBJECT: PJ RAVAL, "LIGHTING FOR NARRATIVE FILM"

    Lighting for narrative films can be a mystery. Award-winning filmmaker PJ Raval will share his secrets for getting the "right look" in this hands-on workshop.

    Named one of Filmmaker Magazine's '25 new faces of independent film 2006", PJ's films have won awards such as Best Narrative Short at the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Int'l Film Festival, Best Screenplay at the Cinematexas Int'l Film Festival, the Betty Nowlin Award for Excellence in Filmmaking and the Director's Award at the Santa Cruz Film Festival. TRINIDAD, a feature documentary that uncovers Trinidad, Colorado's , transformation from Wild West outpost to "sex change capital of the world" and follows three influential transgender women who may steer the rural ranching town toward becoming the "transsexual mecca", won the Cleveland International Film Festival Documentary Jury Award and aired on SHOWTIME last summer, as well as LOGO network. PJ is developing another feature length documentary, as well as completing a narrative feature script called boys without cars with screenwriter Gregg Rounds, and has also been collaborating on a collection of film work with performer and "drag terrorist" Paul Soileau under the name Three dollar Cinema.

    PJ is also an award-winning cinematographer. His work has been showcased at both Sundance and Cannes and earned him awards such as the ASC Charles B. Lang Jr. Heritage Award as well as the Haskell Wexler Award for Best Cinematography. PJ has been featured in American Cinematographer. He shot the 2008 Sundance Film Festival Documentary Grand Jury Award Winner and 2009 Academy Award nominated TROUBLE THE WATER, produced/directed by FAHRENHEIT 9/11 producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal.

    Space is limited.
