BEERWAH short film director, Ryan Butler, recently held his first workshop for young film makers in partnership with Aesopmedia, to bridge a gap in film education.
Ryan, who is best known for world renowned short films including Bin Day and The Gorge, tried his hand at mentoring 10 highschool students over a three day intensive ‘Next-Gen Filmmakers Bootcamp’.
Day one was focused on pre-production, day two on filming and day three on post-production.
Ryan’s main focus from his side of teaching was effective story telling and script writing.
His proudest moment from the bootcamp was one of the students showing him a script she wrote after some inspiring advice from Ryan on day one.
Now that he has dipped his toes into teaching filmmaking, Ryan is now planning to hold more workshops.
