About this class

Join a crew of your fellow film-loving peers and create professional content such as spec-ads, short films, experimental film reels, music videos, and more! In this class, you will challenge yourself to work as a film professional, honing your skills while learning what it takes to meet deadlines, work in a team, and take a film project from concept to reality. By the end of the apprenticeship, you will have a portfolio of your work, reflecting the hands-on experience you’ve gained.

Applications close January 5th.

Whitney Skauge (they/them)

Film Mentor

Howdy! My name is Whitney Skauge, and I’m a documentary filmmaker and portrait photographer originally from Bozeman, Montana. I am inspired by the belief that everyone has a story to tell. I love finding ways to document the softness and wonder hidden in everyday life. My films have screened at film festivals such as SXSW, BlackStar Film Festival, and the Camden International Film Festival. 

In my professional life, I am grateful to have worked alongside incredible minds at film studios, media companies, and non-profits such as the Academy Award®-winning Breakwater Studios, Lena Waithe’s Hillman Grad, YouTube, Sundance Institute, Interloper Films, and Women in Film.
