Program Description
This program is an exceptional chance for independent and emerging filmmakers to advance their skills under the guidance of two of the world’s premier adventure filmmakers. During a jam-packed 10 days, participants will hone their craft, strengthen their skills, and network and mingle with fellow filmmakers, industry insiders, and decision-makers. This all takes place within the core of the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival, where epic stories are told through the eyes of authors, photographers, and filmmakers from around the globe. Workshop sessions will help participants sharpen their narrative, vision, organize their workflow, develop audio and editing techniques, and perfect their pitches. Our faculty promote an open, interactive, and creative atmosphere. We pack the days with hands-on practice, lively discussion, and brainstorming. We’ll welcome industry insiders as guest speakers offering rare access to potential mentors, collaborators, sponsors, and backers.
