Nextwave Online is the #1 film education resource of choice for Regional Australians. It is developed by the team at Coffs Harbour’s Screenwave International Film Festival to help young regional Australians, regional teachers, and regional councils how to produce 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 everything in between.
No previous experience is necessary. The Nextwave team make learning filmmaking….simple!
All of the best tips, tools, and techniques are all together in one place for you.
