Our #6filmchallenge for May and June focused on the theme of “Motherhood”. This was a beautifully broad theme, full of potential for soul searching and self-expression. Our members, as usual, took our breath away with their unique interpretations of this theme. Take a moment to dive into these films, we hope they both inspire you but also show that documenting Motherhood doesn't have to be complicated to be heartfelt.

In March and April, our #6filmchallenge to our Academy members was to create a 'Day-In-The-Life' (DITL) Film; a film that focuses on the everyday moments of their daily lives. To up the challenge, we asked each participant to film in a VERTICAL orientation, flipping their camera away from the standard horizontal orientation. For many, this was a new skill both in shooting and in editing! Some chose to use their DSLR cameras, some chose to use their mobile devices, and some combined both devices to create their film.

In wrapping up 2019, we asked our FilmingLife Academy members to consider the traditions that happen in their lives and make a film that encapsulates those traditions!
