Everyone has a story worth telling — including you. Whether you want to express something important, reflect on a life event, or simply try your hand at creative filmmaking, this class gives you the tools to turn a personal experience into a compelling short film. The course is aimed at teens and young adults interested in self-expression, digital storytelling, and filmmaking.
The teaching style is inclusive, calm, encouraging and visually led, drawing on experience of teaching undergraduates and mentoring rookies. Length of lessons can be adjusted to suit and are a mixture of person to person communication, demonstrations and examples on screen, editing feedback and creative brainstorming. You will learn and produce content you can be proud of.
