OuTREACH
At Left Eye Blind, our Outreach program is of equal importance to our projects in Production.
Not only does Outreach provide the means to give back to our industry, our initiatives enable our staff to discover new talent, support filmmakers from disadvantage backgrounds and reflect greater representation in our future projects.
Included here is a variety of Outreach programs we have run over the last decade.
DOCUMENTARY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Passing on the learnings from our experiences creating the award winning 'General Magic' , we have developed a five day Masterclass Documentary Development Program run from our offices.
Hands on, fiercely practical and hosted in small class groups, participants dive into every process of the Documentary Feature Production from development through to distribution.
