My easy-to-understand training will give you the skills and confidence you need to make your own short videos. I provide training to all kinds of organisations, from charities and small businesses to higher education, government agencies and the NHS. I can show you how to make movies with your mobile phone, still cameras or camcorders.

I also provide workshops on film and filmmaking for schools, arts organisations, community groups and film festivals, and film education CPD for teachers.
