Torsten ran a filmmaking workshop for my son and other teens in Lisbon and it was absolutely amazing. The way he worked with the kids was fantastic, they learned so much but he also gave them the perfect amount of space for their creativity. I was amazed at what they managed to create in just two days. They are all very keen to do another project with him. I honestly can’t recommend him highly enough!
Thank you Torsten, I really liked
the class and I hope I can
learn from you again.
We would like to thank you very much again. The course “Cre8 your first film” was really great. Our son had a lot of fun and is now very proud of his first little film. He learned so much in the 6 weeks and was always really looking forward to the sessions. Everything was explained in an understandable way and with the video compilation afterwards it was easy to implement. Nice how you have also supported every single child in their respective project with valuable tips.
Our son also liked the quiz round at the beginning of each session and the weekly additional offer “Cre8ors Lounge”.
At the end of the course, a very nice certificate was provided for printing.
You will definitely see our son again at the next course “Cre8 a stop-motion film”.
