The main program fee is £295 ($395). This covers pre-departure training, all in-country accommodation, transport, and all your main meals. You’ll also receive ongoing support from our team throughout your experience. Your flight and travel insurance are not included. Our team will help you find the best deal and help you in preparation for your trip.

Generally, filmmakers travel with their own video and audio equipment. If you don’t have your own camera gear, please get in touch as we do have kit to lend out on request. When you’re filming on the move it helps to travel light so we encourage all our filmmakers to keep their kit nice and compact. A good DSLR with 2+ lenses, a tripod, and some simple audio recording gear is all you need to produce a great film.

We’re looking for aspirational filmmakers, who are confident using their gear, and ready to learn more about the documentary filmmaking process. Whether you’re an amateur or professional filmmaker this internship is a great opportunity to film to a brief, develop your story-telling, get experience conducting interviews, and also hone your skills in post-production. There are no specific requirements you need to take part, but ideally applicants would be able to reference one or two videos they’ve worked on as an example of their current level.

First things first, you’ll need to submit an application online by selecting a location and date from the list below. From there, you’ll have a 45-minute phone interview that will focus on both your suitability and also provide you with an opportunity to ask any questions you have about the program. If we believe you’re a good match, you’ll be offered a place on the team and from there, you’ll be introduced to your trip leaders and your dedicated creative lead who’ll be guiding you through the filmmaking process.

During your trip, you’ll be with a team of 20-25 teachers, led by 2-3 team leaders with experience in the education context and the location you’re traveling to. As far as the filmmaking, you’ll be the only designated filmmaker in the group, which means you’ll gain full credits for the filming, directing and production of the finished films. If you’d like to team up with another filmmaker, please request this in your application and we will consider matching you with another filmmaker.
