Nextwave Online is developed by the team at Coffs Harbour’s Screenwave International Film Festival to help young creatives and teachers to produce quality short films in their community.
Nextwave Online is a subscription service providing access to fun, engaging and educational workshop episodes that cover the fundamentals of making a short film: from writing to filming to editing, and beyond. No previous experience is required.
All of the best tips, tools, and techniques are all together in one place for you. The aim of the new program is to teach communication skills through filmmaking, using technology that becomes increasingly more accessible, to capture stories from Australia’s youth not just around arts, but also across sports, agriculture, health, and science. It’s about capturing important Australian stories – your stories!
Subscriptions run calendar year.
