Experience of a Lifetime!
My month in the wildlife filmmaking course was absolutely life changing. I started the program with no knowledge of the documentary production process, and I had never shot a video on anything other than my phone. By the end of the month, I had written, filmed, edited, and produced a short documentary about the wildlife in South Africa. There was a massive learning curve, and it pushed me to grow exponentially. I learned so much about filmmaking through this experience, but I also developed relationships that I know will last a lifetime. I am so happy that I made the decision to participate in the Africa Media program. Thanks to everyone on staff who welcomed me from day 1. You are all appreciated.
