This one week hands-on intensive will cover the art, pre-production, production and post-production of non-fiction filmmaking. Each student will take a small documentary project through pre-production, production and post-production during the program and we will screen all films at the end of the week.


Through hands-on exercises and demonstrations, instructors Josh Apter and Jem Schofield will lead you through documentary filmmaking techniques, project planning, producing, shooting and editing with the most popular tools on the market.

  • The Art of Documentary Film

  • Single camera Verite Coverage
  • Pre-production & Planning your Project
  • Location Scouting
