People Behind the Content
We're not just another training outfit. Our team brings together media professionals who've worked on actual productions — documentaries, branded content, commercial projects — and decided to share what we learned along the way.
Based in New Taipei City, we've been helping creative folks develop practical skills since early 2021. What makes us different? Our instructors still work in the field. They're not teaching theory from textbooks; they're showing you techniques they used last month.
Real Experience, Real Teaching
There's this gap in content creation education. Most programs either teach software mechanics or high-level strategy, but miss the middle ground where actual work happens.
Our team figured this out after years of hiring junior creators who knew the tools but couldn't tell a story. Or understood narrative but couldn't execute it technically. So we built something different.
Everyone on our teaching team actively creates content for clients. Marlowe Thackeray runs a small production company. Saoirse Bellamy works with Taiwan's tech startups on brand videos. Finnian Leighton produces documentary shorts that actually screen at festivals.
What We Actually Teach
Our programs focus on the stuff that matters when you're trying to finish a project on deadline. Not everything — just the parts that make the biggest difference.
Story Structure
How to build narrative flow that keeps viewers watching. Works for social content, long-form documentaries, or corporate explainers. Same principles, different scales.
Technical Production
Camera work, lighting setups, audio recording that doesn't sound like garbage. Plus editing workflows that don't take forever. We cover both single-person operations and small team coordination.
Client Communication
This one surprises people, but it's crucial. How to understand what clients actually want (versus what they say), manage revisions without losing your mind, and deliver work that meets expectations.
Portfolio Development
Building a body of work that shows your range. We help students create portfolio pieces during the program — real projects with constraints, deadlines, and feedback rounds.
Platform Adaptation
Same core content, different delivery. How to reshape stories for YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, or client websites without starting from scratch each time.
Business Fundamentals
Pricing your work, basic contracts, managing project timelines. The unsexy stuff that determines whether you can actually make a living doing this.
How We Work With Students
- Small cohorts, usually 8-12 people per program. Larger groups mean less individual feedback, and that's where real learning happens.
- Project-based curriculum. You'll create actual content pieces throughout the program, not just complete exercises. By the end, you have portfolio work and experience managing real production challenges.
- Direct instructor access. Our teachers review your work, answer technical questions, and provide feedback on your projects. Not through a teaching assistant — the actual instructor who works in the field.
- Industry context alongside technique. When we teach lighting setups, we also discuss typical budget constraints. When covering editing, we talk about realistic client revision rounds. Theory matters less than applicable knowledge.
- Flexible pacing for working professionals. Most students have day jobs. Our programs accommodate that with evening sessions and asynchronous components that let you work at your own speed within the cohort timeline.
Programs Starting March 2026
Our next cohort begins in early March. We'll open applications in January 2026 for anyone interested in developing practical content creation skills. Programs run 6-8 months depending on the track you choose.
