Network
Free Film School is driven by a small team, the participants who attend weekly sessions and have formed the first FFS family, and a wide network of facilitators – proffessionals in their respective fields who share
their experiences, answer questions and recommend next steps for those who want to take their learning further. Scroll to meet our team, alumni, and facilitators.
