A smartphone, tablet, or camera with enough space to
record video. We suggest downloading DaVinci Resolve free
version (Mac or PC) if you don't already use an editing app.
How can parents support their child during the course?
Guardians are encouraged to share which soft skill they'd
like their child to improve upon & we'll personalise sessions
where possible. For the 4-week course, friends & family
are invited to watch the students' finished films!
What activities will students participate in?
Our classes are a mix of theory discussions, interactive
games, independent thinking, & hands-on practice!
Online, we create a true virtual film set environment, where
kids can collaborate with others from around the globe!
How advanced are the classes?
Students don't need any prior filmmaking experience, but

We demystify the filmmaking process to make it accessible
for people of all backgrounds & levels.
