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 August 18th.

Jonathan Nelson (he/him)

Film Mentor

Hi, my name is Jonathan Nelson. I’m a film mentor at Spy Hop and I specialize in Cinematography. I’ve worked in the film industry full time for the past 7 years, playing almost every role on set in various productions. Everything from Documentary, Commercial, Narrative, and Broadcast, I’ve got exposure in.

Most recently, I am in post production for a horror feature film where I was the Director of Photography and a Producer. This film should be hitting festivals later this year.
