Documentary Filmmaking School - Ywam Harpenden

The Invisible Heroes Project are 9 videos of 3 minutes that seek to promote the work that is being done by volunteers among the refugees in Lesvos. Our hope is to give people around the world just a taste of what it is like to give of yourself, of helping someone in need, and to spark the desire to make a difference in someones life near or far. Adel was a translator for the american forces in Iraq, his homeland. He had to flee his country to survive. Now he is a translator a...gain for the many organisations that work with the refugees, and is one of the people running the camp in the north of the island.

In a traditional christian missions context, the term "mission field" has been defined as a physical place where a missionary works, sharing the gospel and serving the people there. But what about in business? What does it look like for you, to serve in your mission field? How can you share your faith, and also encourage people to become "comfortable in their own skin"?
This video series titled "Business and The Kingdom", was produced in partnership with YWAM Harpenden.
Inter...viewee: Alistair Bullen Produced by Michael L. Green Directed and Edited by Mikayla Shattuck Camera Operator: Paulo Carvalho Interviewer: Julian Campbell

Traveling all the way from Brazil to join the staff team for this year's Documentary Filmmaking School and Seminar, it is my pleasure to introduce to you Jonathan de Jong!
"My name is Jonathan de Jong, I am a media missionary living in Brazil serving at YWAM Vila. I love technology and I love working with people. I love to see other people get passionate about telling visual stories through visual communication. It’s a great privilege to be back at the DFS, being able to do... exactly what I am passionate about. I am dreaming of seeing the DFS be part of the UofN training in South America. I have great expectations looking at this new generation of storytellers we have at the DFS. I believe they will be the ones who inspire others with amazing stories. Stories that will connect, inspire, impact the nations."
Less than one month until this year's Documentary Filmmaking School and Seminar begin! If you are interested in either in the school or the seminar, but haven't contacted our YWAM Harpenden registrar, now is the time!

Introducing one of our staff members for this year's Documentary Filmmaking School and Seminar! The brilliant and beautiful, Julian Campbell.
"I did my undergraduate studies in Mass Media Communication. I had the opportunity to work in different media outlets: print, radio, television and film. Based on the versatility of my personality, film is my first love and passion. I enjoy the company of diverse people group, hosting people and making all sorts of smoothies. But I... can be very introverted at times. I've been obsessed with the arts since childhood, but never have taken the leap to expand or grow in any. I enjoy being a part of effective team work. Two of my favourite quotes are: "Quality team work really makes the dream work.", and “Teamwork divides the task and multiplies the success.”.
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, where you go. (Ecc. 9:10)
