🎬ATTN LOCAL FILMMAKERS📢
How would you like to nurture the next generation of filmmakers in St. John's?
🎥We're looking for FILM COACHES to support our youth filmmakers as they bring their ideas to life.
🎞Our Junior Filmmakers' Workshop class (ages 10-12) meet on Sunday afternoons to write, film, and edit their own short films. We are looking for 3-4 experienced filmmakers to join our team and help show them the ropes on and off set.
👨‍🏫👩‍🏫Although consistency is important, helping out would not be an every-week commitment. Whatever time you're able to provide would be immensely valuable.
ℹ️For more info or to express your interest, send us a DM - Matt will be happy to hear from you.
