• Registration is open for Asheville School of Film’s Film Set Etiquette and Protocols seminar. The one-day workshop takes place on Sunday, July 16, from 1 to 6 p.m. and includes essential information for anyone wanting to work on a motion picture set. In addition to job description skills required for any crew position, there is also an extensive litany of unspoken rules and guidelines that everyone is expected to know, but almost no one is willing to teach. Failure to abide by these codes could result in personal embarrassment or expulsion from the set. The seminar costs $55 and includes take-home handouts. Register online by Sunday, July 2, to guarantee your spot. avl.mx/3vh
