NEW FROM WONDER PRODUCTIONS!


Hello. I'm Nils Osmar. When I'm not making movies, I teach acting and film classes. The classes meet on the University of Washington campus, about five minutes by freeway from downtown Seattle, and are sponsored by the ASUW (Associated Students University of Washington) Experimental College. My upcoming classes related to film and video production are listed below. .

Great for total beginners! Instructor has directed stageplays, shorts and feature films.  His movies have played at international film festivals.

You don't need a fancy camera or a lot of money to make a documentary.
