wow, three and a half days can go by so fast! but hopefully questions were answered, light bulbs sparked on, and fun was had! it was definitely really cool and inspiring watching everyone’s short films and commercials! it’s amazing seeing everyone applying everything they’ve learnt in such a short period of time into these pieces. the last day’s usually the hardest, when everyone is running on little to no sleep but as always, our attendees plow (plough?) through it, driven by their passion for filmmaking. the day consisted of post production, storytelling, editing and some 1 on 1 time, followed by mini sections from lil’j, quenners, P, and i on editing, working fast, being you, and getting over your fears. quite the extensive day. the long hours may have been tough, but at the end of it, it’s always so sad to say “see you soon” (i hate goodbyes) to all the amazing people from all over the world. but hey, who know’s we’re probably gonna be in one of their cities/countries at any given moment so i’m gonna lean on that for now :)

thank you to all of our sponsors for making this all happen, Canon Live Learning, Lens Pro To Go (LPTG), smallHD, Cinevate, Kessler Crane, Profoto, With Etiquette, Shootsac, and Zacuto.
