The Wandering Film School: Making Filmmaking More Accessible
Over the past decade, an inspiring group in Bosnia-Herzegovina has been providing young people with a practical filmmaking education in just a handful of days. The Wandering Film School is a group of filmmakers that works to educate its students on both the art and the trade of filmmaking. Every year, a class of young filmmakers embark on a ten-day process to produce a short: learning the theory and practice of visual storytelling.
It takes a village to make a film, and the Wandering Film School work closely together to get their project from pre-production to a final cut. Class members get to choose a crew role that they have an interest in and learn on-the-job with access to professional advice, as well as professional gear – including our Misfit Kick Mk II matte box.
The 2024 students completed their production – a music video for local band Limunati – over just two days in December. With a wide range of setups and lighting conditions to plan for in a narrow time frame, the Misfit Kick helped manage exposure and match the creative vision that the crew had.
Without the worry of providing their own gear, the Wandering Film School class can springboard their creative careers – but graduates from the school still come back year-on-year to mentor new classes. Hrvoje Bazina, an ASBH-accredited cinematographer, got his start with the Wandering Film School and now teaches incoming students. Others like Barbara Bubalo never imagined themselves in a mentor role until they were, and now can’t imagine themselves as anything else.
It’s an inspiring program, and at a time where it is harder than ever to break into the film industry, the Wandering Film School is making a difference.
