One of my coworkers just got back from Kenya, a place I’ve always wanted to visit, so the flyer I just got about filmmaking seminars to be held in Kenya, and in Panama, too, are timely.

Well, if I ever get into filmmaking myself, I hope to produce, but wouldn’t it be fun to learn to shoot a movie in such lovely landscape?

Elevate Destinations is the organization providing these classes with experienced teachers whose pedigrees include winning Emmys and being affiliated with respected academic institutions. The Panama class takes place in May, the Kenya class takes place in August. Both classes include expert instruction on cinematography as well as trips to see the local flora and fauna up close.
