The Adventure Film School (AFS) is an invaluable experience that compresses several months worth of education and training into one week. You will benefit from it even if, like me, you’ve never held a camera. My confidence in shooting, editing and filmmaking overall improved by the day, thanks to the presence and guidance of Michael Brown, Ryan Ross and the rest of the AFS team. I’ve been a freelance print journalist for six years, and after attending AFS, I’ve successfully added to my skill set and paved the way for a new direction in my career.
