The prior post on a Grad Success Story about Valarie Blue Bird Jernigen is one of the reasons that San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking (FilmSchoolSF) started a documentary filmmaking courses in the Bay Area. With the 6-MONTH DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING COURSE starting NOVEMBER 10th, we’re mindful how powerful documentary filmmaking is.  And, that the Bay Area is a region which has given rise to many powerful documentary filmmakers.

While FilmSchoolSF has always covered Documentary filmmaking in its coursework, it became clear that creating a Documentary Filmmaking Course and giving aspiring Documentary Filmmakers a dedicated place to explore their own voice, was not only needed but necessary.  As social media provides more and more venues for self-expression, as plug-and-go technology allows guerrilla shoots to be filmed and quickly uploaded online and on-screen, we believe strongly that the tools to have the greatest impact are badly needed. So, the 6-month Documentary Filmmaking Course is a program whose time has come.

You can expect the same hands-on learning and support you expect from FilmSchoolSF in the Documentary filmmaking course.  With creative classmates and masterful instructors, the sky’s the limit. We look forward to watching documentary students fly towards their filmmaking and life goals.
