Our mentors embody the philosophy that great wildlife filmmaking requires more than just technical knowledge. To create impactful stories, one must understand the natural world around them and the foundations of researching a story through to post-production. Renowned guest speakers from the wildlife documentary industry and our post-production partner will host workshops throughout the course.
