About

10X-logo-white-BGThe 10X Productions team works collaboratively with filmmakers in other countries to produce visual stories and to empower emerging filmmakers in other cultures with the goal to see people of all nations experience life-change through the influence of visual media.

We want to help you grow in your skills as a visual storyteller. Whether you want to create video blogs, short films, or feature-length films, or television series, you need to understand basic concepts of how cameras work, audio, lighting, editing, and most importantly, how to tell a good story.

This site is a growing resource where you can find short courses that cover many topics to help you become a better visual storyteller (filmmaker.) You can sign up for individual units that cover different topics or you can sign up for a complete course that will earn you a certificate in basic film-making.
