THIS SUMMER... GET REAL!
Doug Pray and Peter J. Vogt, in association with TheFilmSchool, are proud to introduce Wild Mind Film Camp, a 10-day intensive workshop for documentary filmmaking in the Washington Cascades.
The term “Wild Mind” is American/Buddhist, meaning “starting now/ready for anything.” Gary Snyder, the Buddhist/poet/ecologist defines it as being “elegantly self-disciplined, self-regulating. That’s what wilderness is. Nobody has a management plan for it.” For us, good filmmaking is a practice that can be prepared for but never completely controlled. It requires innovation in the moment, trust in the process, and a great deal of courage. A Wild Mind is focused, attentive, and curious, it accepts rigor, enjoys challenge, endures failure, and delights in the discovery of the documentary filmmaking process.
Wild Mind Film Camp is a hands-on, in-depth learning experience for ten inspired nonfiction filmmakers who want to dramatically improve their documentary skills and knowledge. Each day will feature a mix of classes, workshops, and live production in a supportive community atmosphere. Amidst the astonishing beauty of the Cascade Mountains and the fascinating culture of the Methow River Valley, this is a rare and excellent opportunity to work one-on-one with REAL pros, REAL equipment, and REAL subjects. (Did we mention the 70-acre resort-like accommodations, swimming pool, and great food...? That's real, too!)
