Class Experience

This course will take students through the production process, from storytelling & performance techniques, through shooting & editing foundations. Each filmmaking step will enrich their creativity. 

They will leave this workshop knowing how to use their simple home devices, to unleash their limitless imaginations!

Learners are encouraged to participate, share their ideas with the class, and take part in all of our games and hands-on activities along the way!
