Upcoming Workshops
Age 10+
Join the DGYC and local self-taught filmmaker Emily Peer-Groves for a three-day workshop on movie making! Learn the basics of storytelling, set design, costumes & props, and how to film a video short. At the end of the three days, participants will have a rough-draft short filmed and ready to be edited (future workshop).
Details:
Monday & Tuesday March 27 - 28th - 1pm - 4pm
Wednesday March 29th - 10am - 1pm
Snacks provided.
These workshops have been formatted for age 10+. If you have a keen youth under 10, they will be placed on the waitlist and if space allows we will contact you to register.
The funding for these workshops has been generously provided by Gwaii Trust & the Village of Daajing Giids.
