Ever tried to make a movie from a bird's point of view? 🦅 Well, our filmmakers just did, and it was anything but a wild goose chase!

Picture this: a group of excited filmmakers learning to fly drones like they're auditioning for the next Avengers movie. 🦸‍♀️ The only thing missing? Capes and catchy theme music. But hey, we made up for it with lots of laughter and a few "oops, is that tree supposed to be in the shot?" moments.

Here's what went down:
- Learned to fly drones without turning them into UFOs. 🚀
- Mastered the art of not getting tangled in power lines. Shout out to Tom, our unofficial power line bodyguard!
- Captured aerial shots that made us feel like Spielberg's long-lost cousins. 🎥

This workshop was a real game-changer, empowering our crew to add some sky-high flair to their storytelling. It's like giving their creativity wings... literally.

Have you ever tried drone filmmaking? Or maybe you’re just trying to keep your feet on the ground. Tell us about your high-flying (or grounded) adventures!

🌟 Workshop Recap: Quilt-Making & Storytelling 🌟

At the latest H.E.R. Production Academy workshop, our incredible group of girls dove into the beautiful craft of quilt-making, discovering how every patch tells a personal story. Each square represented a moment, a memory, or a feeling, and when stitched together, they created a powerful, collective narrative. 🧵💫

Just like in documentary filmmaking, each story in a quilt stands alone yet contributes to a larger, cohesive theme. Every frame in a documentary mirrors the careful stitching of a quilt, revealing individual journeys while weaving together a shared experience. 🎥✨

Our young storytellers not only honed their artistic skills but also learned how creativity in one form inspires another. The workshop was a vivid reminder that our stories are stronger together. 🙌💖
