The Filmmaker masterclass, booked privately. Instead of a set route, the session follows whatever you're after, whether that's better photos of the two of you, sharper travel video, or reels that don't look like everyone else's. You go at your own pace, in the best light going, with any camera and any level welcome. It's a good fit for couples, content creators and small groups who'd rather have the filmmaker to themselves.
What's included
- A working filmmaker, just for your group
- A session built around what you want to shoot

Your choice of English or Spanish, guided from start to finish in the one you pick.
