Learn How to Make Powerful Short Documentaries in This Free Day-Long Workshop
Wherever we go, stories are happening all around us. As filmmakers, we have the power to capture those stories and craft them into something special (and maybe even make some money in the process).
That's exactly what Griffin Hammond has been doing with his life. Who is Griffin Hammond, you ask? Well, he's a documentary filmmaker who has made his living capturing compelling stories and sharing them with the world. He's the director of an award-winning short documentary about Sriracha, the Thai hot sauce that has amassed a cult following in the United States, and he currently works at Bloomberg in New York City, where he creates political documentaries.
