Silence the Doubt, Find Your Voice

Join independent film professional Bendrix, Executive Director of The 48 Film Festival, for a workshop series that will help you create and establish your unique voice and create work that truly represents who you are as a filmmaker. In this workshop series, Ben will teach you how to harness your creativity and use it to make powerful and meaningful films.

This workshop series will take place over 3 online sessions, and will conclude with an in-person screening. Topics covered will include inspiring, creating, and producing a film; along with learning various aesthetic and technical skills.
