Discovery-based filmmaking for change




What's discovery-based filmmaking?
Filmbuilding runs educational workshops that connect students across differences and distances to tell stories that matter.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Our transformative approach emphasizes social and emotional development that's grounded in fun, project-based learning.
