What to Bring
💻 Laptop (fully charged) with CapCut installed — use the desktop version, not the cloud version (it’s free!)
📱 Smartphone (fully charged)
- Any gear you have: tripod, gimbal, camera rig, audio equipment — but don’t worry if you don’t have any of it
- A few lavalier mics will be available to borrow
- Most importantly: start thinking about a film you’d like to make. Celebrate your community! Each workshop features hands-on exercises designed to give you the tools and skills to bring it to life.
I can’t wait to see you there!
With much appreciation,
Adam Gavzer
