Guardian Media Academy Starts Tuesday in London – still time!

Close up on the hands!

OK

We are back in England this morning.

Cold.
Rainy
Wet
Windy

Yes, it’s the last day of summer here in the UK.  But!  The Met office promises better weather next week.

And that’s a good thing because on Tuesday we kick off yet another Guardian Media Academy 4-day intensive bootcamp here in London.

We’ve schlepped (as we say in Blighty) a ton of gear over here – cameras, laptops, mice, cards.. so that you can get your hands on the gear, learn how to shoot and cut and head out to Greater London to make 2 films with us during the four day course.

The book is good.  The website is better, but nothing beats face to face, hands on for the world’s greatest learning experience.

Some of our grads have gone on to great success in the TV world.  One of them was just named Vice President for Digital at Scripps.  How’s that for a success story?

We have a few places open so if you want to come, there is still time

But there won’t be for long.

Lemme know

Fast.

see you, hopefully, after the rain stops

…Oh look. It’s clearing already…
