Are you passionate about creating impactful and meaningful stories through photography and videography?
Do you want to make a difference in the world by documenting nature? Then this is your chance!
Join us for an immersive 6-day experience where young filmmakers dive deep into Bali’s stunning ecosystems and local communities. Campers will get up close and personal with local flora, fauna, and farmers to create their very own inspirational and impactful film.
During the Our Blue Planet Nature Documentary Expedition, participants will explore mangroves, rivers, coral reefs, and seaweed farms to develop a deeper understanding of human impacts on each fragile ecosystem. Alongside conservation experts, students will learn professional filmmaking techniques—including storytelling, cinematography, scriptwriting, sound recording, and basic video editing. Campers will use these newly gained skills to design, film, and produce a professional nature documentary meant to raise environmental awareness and inspire individuals to take action for sustainability.
