Documentary Storytelling Takes People On Journeys

I have spent 35 years of my working life as a radio announcer, television reporter, investigative journalist and an executive producer for a national South African news and current affairs show. For the past 10 years I have been teaching at a documentary film school in Cape Town, South Africa. This has recently led me to branch out into developing online training courses covering factual filmmaking.
I am excited about this new journey into online skills courses and the overall positive response these have had. I really appreciate feedback from students who tell me what aspects of the courses worked for them and also what could work better. Feedback is essential for me and I invite students to tell me about their experiences.
