FILMMAKING WORKSHOPS
IN London

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.

Our filmmaking workshop in London provides practical, hands-on experience for people who want to develop their filmmaking and storytelling skills in a supportive environment. Participants learn how to plan, film, and edit content while collaborating with others, helping to build confidence in every stage of the production process. Whether you are new to filmmaking or looking to strengthen existing skills, the workshop offers valuable real-world experience.

Through guided activities and professional support, participants gain a better understanding of camera work, interviewing techniques, audio recording, and post-production editing. By the end of the filmmaking workshop, attendees will have developed practical creative skills and a deeper understanding of how collaborative filmmaking can be used to tell engaging stories and create meaningful impact within communities and organisations.

• 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.
• Support contributors so they benefit.
• Make people feel comfortable on camera.
• Produce authentic filmed interviews.
• Make the most of skills and resources.
• Film creatively with smartphones and learn to shoot engaging content.
• Edit footage without being overwhelmed.
• Reflect and celebrate.

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.

From £250 per individual — Film packages from £150 for our short courses

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.

Beginners and people who have experience of producing films are all welcome so if you work with groups or individuals where film can be used, this course is for you. Some knowledge of co-production is helpful but not essential. Flexible Films have a unique way of working and will share their experiences, approaches and tips.
