Testimonials
The focus on practical matters and exposure to a wide variety of gear were especially why I enjoyed the class. By the time I left, the world of cinematography felt considerably more accessible. —Fall 2022 student
Aspects that I particularly liked from the workshop were the hands-on experience we were given and the thorough explanation of the equipment and how to use it before jumping in. —Summer 2022 student
