With nearly 40 years experience in the industry and many years in film education and training in the academic sector, John felt that most current filmmaking courses are far too academic and do not cater for the needs of the profession. As a result he devised The Cape Film Workshops as a series of programme competency levels designed to overcome problems and propel participants to emerging professional status much earlier than usual.
Currently the Cape Film Workshops are scheduled mostly for Cape Town (as usual) but the content looks interesting enough to lobby him to run similar programmes in NMB, no? Email John to find out more: support@capefilmworkshops.org
