Your First Movie Starts Here
Our goal with this course is to give you the practical goals and confidence to go and make your own 2-minute documentary.
Why 2 minutes? Movies become exponentially more difficult the more time you add - more footage, more angles to consider, etc, while with 2 minutes, it provides boundaries that will keep your project manageable within the length of the course.
For those who complete this course and want to continue, we are offering a second phase where participants will work together in a group to produce a longer documentary (15-30 minutes). More information to come!
