My November workshops in Malaysia and the Philippines have again confirmed at least in my mind the intense hunger for education and training in that part of the world. Notwithstanding my few days in the typhoon-devastated areas outside Cebu where the hunger of people is more much literal, my workshops in Kuala Lumpur and Manila were oversubscribed by hundreds of eager participants in each city. In Malaysia those attending were mostly news cameramen looking to expand their visual storytelling skills and career opportunities at their respective stations.

In Manila the Fast Forward event at the city’s immense convention center attracted nearly 350 attendees comprised mostly of independent filmmakers and producers. More workshops in Asia are in the works for early next year! Stay tuned!

Some workshop attendees came dressed as an anime character. Go figure.

The Philippines is my 29th country since 2006 to host my camera storytelling workshop.
