WORKSHOPS
Creative filmmaking that nurtures voice and vision.
In Rebecca’s workshops, filmmaking becomes a playful path to new inspiration. We take time to slow down, refresh our spark and develop unique voices with creative confidence.
Whether you're new to filmmaking or refining your practice, Rebecca offers two types of workshops:
TABLETOP CINEMA LAB
In one-to-one sessions or small groups, we create miniature sets in a tabletop box to explore inner and outer worlds — gathering, arranging and lighting personal objects.
Using phone cameras, we make short film-poems, layering image, sound, music and words.
FILMMAKING WITH PHONES
In small groups, we devise short film projects with our phones. We consider storyboarding, scripting, framing, camera movement, as well as building interview techniques with listening and observation skills.
Participants are supported with tips on how to practice filming with our phones in everyday life to develop creative attention.
We devise poetic documentaries and film-poems.
“Rebecca’s workshops are stimulating, engrossing and totally creative - they adapt to all levels of ability and experience, a much-needed tonic for all!”
