Have you always wanted to make a movie? Do you own a video camera but don't know how to make the most of it? Have you ever wanted to create a compelling story about your travels and the fascinating people you meet? Films are one of the most powerful tools for self-expression and education. They help us learn about people and cultures different from our own. They can inspire compassion, build bridges between people and bring about positive change. Filmmaking can be a way to explore and understand the worlds around us and within us.

Open Eye Pictures, in association with renowned Windsor Mountain International launched an innovative program in the summer of 2004 to expand the cultural, creative and technological horizons for young people. In this unique new program, you’ll learn the nuts and bolts of how to make a documentary from Emmy-nominated filmmaker Andy Abrahams Wilson. This hands-on workshop will teach you how to use your mini DV digital camera to explore the island and the people who live there; and then edit this material into a short film while learning about yourself and others. No video experience is necessary.
