Next Level Filmmaking Stream 2016
(limited to 30 participants)
So you've hit [Start] and conquered Level Zero. Now, it's time to level up! Unlock new skills that will power-up your film productions. All without cheat codes and extra lives!
Next Level Filmmaking requires delegates to have either completed a previous Charge Up! Conference Filmmaking Stream or have strong basic understanding of filmmaking, including producing, screenwriting, the use of camera and lights and a NLE program. It is designed to be challenging so be warned!
Note: Admission preference is given to full-time workers and volunteers in churches & non-profit organizations. Please state your church/org name and ministry/department head's name upon registration.
