Our Workshops

Designed specially for your passion

Our goal is to promote the region’s creative talent to become competitive on a global scale. We are achieving this through our growth-focused, professional-oriented activities.

We create intensive workshops, taught by experts that actively work in the film industry, providing the participants a solid base on the subject, so they can exert what they’ve learned in their artistic careers, as well as giving them the tools for them to find the best next step to continue their formation.

We also organize a various activities related to the film industry to foster the appreciation, distribution, and interest of the artistic media. Film is not a dream, it’s an industry.

We focus our workshops around the 4 areas listed below. However, we can adapt and create more masterclasses and bootcamps based on what the industry presently needs. We are working to bring more soon, both in Guatemala and internationally, so keep your eyes open! If there is a subject you’d be interested to learn about, let us know at the form at the bottom!
