The Community Studio: Build Your Content Capacity

You know you need to create more video content, but finding the time, knowledge, and skills feels impossible. The Community Studio is complete phone filmmaking training designed specifically for nonprofits who want to tell their authentic stories with confidence.

Our comprehensive pre-recorded sessions teach you everything from ethical story spotting to editing techniques, all using the smartphone you already own.

What sets us apart is our 12-month support system. Beyond the training modules, you get monthly live calls with our team, exclusive workshops, a private community of fellow nonprofit storytellers, and personal strategy sessions. We don’t just give you information and leave you to figure it out alone – we provide sustained guidance to ensure you actually build lasting video storytelling skills.

Investment is £250, and we only open three times per year before closing to focus entirely on supporting our members.
