Greetings!
Welcome to the Serac Adventure Film School Update Email!
Here we will provide updates about upcoming film schools, latest film work
of alumni, links to our outfitters, sponsors and other information related to the school.
If
you signed up recently, congratulations, you are about to join a
community of adventure filmmakers. Our goal is to learn from each
other, provide opportunities and make films. |
Our first adventure film school with Outside magazine wrapped last weekend and, we're proud to say, it was a big success. We're definitely coming back next year! Check back soon at www.adventurefilmschool.com to see all the student films!
The Banff Filmmakers Workshop is completely full, but we are still taking applications for our Colorado Backcountry Adventure in January. Check below for details.

Banff Filmmakers Workshop November 3-9 (Full)
Our own Michael Brown and Keith Partridge lead a workshop in conjunction with the Banff Mountain Film Festival. This workshop is different from the Adventure Film School in that it focuses on developing your career in film. The two events are highly complimentary, and we recommend that participants who are serious about a career in adventure film consider both for next year.
