A Hands-on One Day Filmmaking Course

Co-produced filmmaking is working with and alongside everyone involved throughout the whole filmmaking process. Contributors have valuable input and feel ownership so films are authentic with clear and powerful messages.

About Flexible Films

We have been producing films since 2002, focusing on documentary and educational content. They are pioneers in co-produced filmmaking and make the most of available resources. Russell Hall is also a qualified Media Studies teacher and Sybil Ah-Mane is an experienced facilitator.

  • Plan inclusively and collaboratively.
  • Create safe & comfortable filming spaces.

Create a Professional Co-produced Film

Participants will be filmed on the day with the Magic Video Box so professional interview footage is gathered. Participants will learn how to shoot content with smartphones, and attendees can gather relevant visuals that illustrate their story to produce a 3-minute documentary film.

Use Film as a Tool for Social Change

This workshop explores how to produce documentary films mindfully so contributors feel heard and respected. Learn from filmmakers with approaches and values that mirror the principles of co-production.

What to Expect on the Day

The day will be relaxed and fun with interactive learning, filming activities, presentations, and discussions. Co-production values will also be explored so they can be applied to filmmaking. There will be two spaces – a workshop room and a filming room so that recording is taking place throughout the day.
