FILMMAKING SEMINAR I & II
The University of the Nations’ extension studies program now makes it possible for participants who have not taken the
YWAM Discipleship Training School to take the Film training and obtain University of the Nations credits for it.
Participants will be registered in courses entitled ‘Filmmaking Seminar I’ and ‘Filmmaking Seminar II’,
while following the School of Digital Filmmaking curriculum.
It is naturally expected that participants who attend the seminar equivalent of the school express a high level of interest in
intentional Christian discipleship, as well as expect a possibly bigger adaptation challenge to the YWAM live-learn lifestyle,
which DTS graduates are already acquainted with.

My wife and I launched a filmmaking collective in 2015 through which we make films and help others with theirs. We also started running the Film School and the Acting School at YWAM Dunham in 2016 and it’s so exciting to participate in sending young men and women into the film industry!
Interested in joining us for the next Film School? It would be awesome to meet you!
