Selva Rica Sustainable Education & Community Taller en Santa Eulalia, Peru Enero 2013

Workshop in St. Eulalia, Peru 2013

We are offering a practical digital cinema workshop from writing a script to editing your project
You will spend most of the time filming and editing, rather than being in class. This workshop is more like an internship with the support of professional instructors than a formal class. We believe that one learns more through practice and problem solving. Just by simply having the opportunity to gain many hours behind the camera you will learn directly fromy our own experience.

In St. Eulalia we will be living in a country house with gardens, a pool, and stone paths - perfect for filming. Outside of the property there are mountains with pre-Incan ruins to explore, covered with giant rocks and cacti - also perfect for filming. Our purpose is always to take people out of the city so they can reconnect with nature. This reconnection will be expressed in the films that you make whether they be documentary or fiction.

Here are some example topics for you documentaries:
How do your neighbors take turns irrigating their crops?
Investigate the reforesting programs in the area.

Here are some possible short fiction genres:
Incan times
Western
Country house
