As part of ADMA's continuing effort to open up E-Learning to all Rwandans, we are now sharing our Documentary Pre-Production course to the public.

You can check out the first documentary modules here below.

Upon completion of the first set of modules participants will have developed a proposal for their documentary idea.

These tutorials and assignments are all dedicated to PRE-PRODUCTION (developing an idea, expanding on it) and therefore NO GEAR IS REQUIRED to participate.
