Client: Geneva Call
As a filmmaking trainer, I often train communication specialists in how to film. In filmmaking workshops, I trained Geneva Call’s communications staff in how to become self-shooting filmmakers capable of camera operating, composition, how to film B-roll and create sequences, how to film and conduct interviews and how to record sound. Using rushes they returned with from mission, I formed a narrative, edited and sourced archive to deliver six short films for distribution on their online platforms.
Included are 3 episodes of 6 edited
