Banff Filmmakers Workshop November 3-9
This November Keith Partridge (Touching the Void Cinematographer) and Michael Brown (Adventure Film School) will lead a workshop in conjunction with the Banff Festival. This workshop is different from the Adventure Film School in that it is in a classroom setting and focuses on developing your career in film. The two events are highly complimentary and we reccomend that participants who are serious about a career in adventure film consider both.
