"To whom it may concern.
The Mobile Phone Filmmaking Workshop hosted by John Healy at the Open Gov Hub was an eye opening experience!
Mobile phone filmmaking empowers individuals to tell impactful stories with the tools they already have in their pockets, making creative expression more accessible than ever.
John's expert guidance, practical tips and hands-on activities equipped our community with essential skills to produce professional-quality videos.
This workshop not only sparked creativity, but also showed us how to amplify our voices and communicate effectively.
I highly recommends John's expertise and would be happy to to chat further about our experience."
Additional work with Open Gov Hub:
Artful Citizen was further engaged to provide a series of workshops on Digital Media Story Telling at the Open Gov Hub.
