Northern Lights! Cameras! Action! Film Challenge #3

This fall, M’Guphynn Media has screened short films at two events for our first Northern Lights, Cameras, Action! Workshop, where we paid Alberta Filmmakers to screen their short films under 5min featuring film techniques taught during accompanied workshops. In addition, we awarded $100 for best film and $100 for Audience vote film for the filmmakers in attendance.

We just completed our FINAL educational workshop at SECPA (The Suncor Centre for the Performing Arts) to teach young local filmmakers the basics of MONTAGE. Students were taught how to write and shoot montages using camera movement, music, and transitions.
