Business stories are family stories.
Our Not Another Home Movie course is for parents, grandparents and family members – anyone really! – who want to preserve a family story for the next generation, or who want to preserve early childhood memories of their children in a 3-5 min film before they grow up.
Hanan Daqqa, who teaches the course at George Washington University, will give you effective shortcuts to finding your family story, and writing, filming and editing it in just 4 weeks. She believes we actualize ourselves when we tell our stories. You will screen your family film on the last day of the course and start a new you!
This weekly 3-hour course has no pre-requisites. Our team will help you solve technical problems, and the instructor will introduce principles of photography and editing techniques, but it will be your responsibility to film and edit.
