Homeschool World Forum

Hello!

I'm a former (and future) homeschooler who has had the privilege for several years of working with Advent Film Group, a Christian film production company who has strong ties with the homeschool community and who has helped train interns (mostly homeschoolers) on the sets of their productions for over five years. We have just helped to found a new ministry called Advent Filmmakers, which will be featuring weekly training posts on an interactive blog where students can come to learn and interact with us and other filmmakers. September's posts will be dedicated to a special series on cinematography. If your student is interested in learning more about filmmaking, we welcome him or her to join us! Below are our two cinematography tracks (for beginners and intermediate learners) and the schedule for September. We hope to see you there!
