The online exclusive course will allow aspiring filmmakers to enter the world of visual storytelling, as well as anyone who is looking to expand their filmmaking toolbox with new skills, terminology, and the ability to learn equipment capabilities, and technology that can aid in achieving your Visual Language intent for film.

We’re not just teaching you how to use a camera, we’re going to dive deep into technologies that allow you to empower your creativity.”

Stephen was instrumental in transitioning HBO from film capture into the digital world, received a Television Academy Emmy® award for his work on Westworld VR and has produced HBO’s one-of-a-kind Camera Assessment Series and Image Study Series for over a decade.
