This Workshop Series is for you if:

• You have great content ideas but feel paralyzed when it’s time to put them together.
• You’ve recorded clips, downloaded apps, maybe even bought a ring light… but the content is still sitting in your camera roll.

Whether you want to be a content creator or learn how to edit as a skill to monetize, you're in the right place. This is a 6-part in-person Workshop in NYC. Each class will be help on a Saturday from 12pm-2pm.
