Let’s Start with a Conversation

Let’s talk about documentary.

This whole Unconventional Film School started with small, one-on-one meetings at coffee shops, so we’re going back to basics. Who are you? What is your interest in documentary about? Join Julie McElmurry for a coffee and conversation and let’s see where our journey with documentary may take us next!


Here’s a photo of our final cohort of students (who met weekly for 10?) weeks before Covid done came and put a stop to our in-person classes. Most everyone in this photo is out there, still creating original work with video.

Fall, 2019 cohort of students enjoyed attorney and award-winning sound pro Chris Clark as a guest speaker.

“I have no experience with film making so I want to learn everything I can, especially when it comes to making something that can affect people in a positive way.”
