Filmmaking Workshops
Want to make a film or video to enter into the festival but not sure where to start?
The Earth Futures Festival is hosting two free workshops to help you achieve your vision, helping you get the basic skills to turn a great idea or story into a video or film, to produce work you can share with audiences around the World.
The workshop will take place over two one-hour online classes. That will take you from how to turn an idea in your mind, into a practical schedule and script that will allow you to put your story on to video and film.
The classes will give you the basics in production management, pre-production, camera and directing as well as editing and post-production.
