The 41st Total Tuscany Podcast is a dream come true for a young creative, or even an old creative.John Murphy has assembled a dream team of award winning photographers and filmmakers for a five-week intensive course this summer based out of Lucca, Italy."I want to share with my students an experience unlike any other: to work and create in Tuscany. Through Alt Studio, participants will be able to learn from my dear friends, who happen to be exceptional professionals in their fields, while completely immersing themselves in Italian culture. Living and working in Lucca, and exploring and documenting Tuscany will be one of the best summers a creative young person could ever have. To spend time, a small part of one's life, shooting in this charmed land will change any artist forever. I know it changed me forever.”Do you have to be a current undergraduate or graduate student? The simple answer is no. What you need is a desire to create, learn and let your passion for storytelling shine in a place that will inspire you for a lifetime. What is cool is, upon the completion of the five-week program, a group show/opening and a night of screenings of all AltStudio work will take place in Lucca. Following the students’ return to the United States, the same show of work will be exhibited in New York in September 2016.So how did this course come about? Find out from John Murphy in this podcast. Great personal stories that get the creative juices flowing and just might inspire you to take a 5-week "vacation" to study in what we consider to be heaven on earth.
