Nextwave Online youth film education service launches nationally
As technology becomes ever more accessible, filmmaking has changed from a fringe arts skill into an everyday communications skill – YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, documenting school projects, making video presentations. The technology is there in our pockets.
Filmmaking is here as a new skill of the 21st century – but how do we teach it?
Since 2014, our Nextwave team have taught over 5000 young regional students the fundamentals of filmmaking at hundreds of in-school workshops – and now, we’re taking it Australia-wide for the first time via a dedicated Learning Management System portal called NEXTWAVE ONLINE.

Nextwave short film competition
