Instructor Spotlight: Mara LeGrand

Learn Filmmaking from an Industry Professional
May 25, 2017

We are thrilled to add Mara LeGrand to our roster of community expert instructors this summer. Mara is an award-winning filmmaker, documentarian, screenwriter and songwriter. Her films Heart & Soil and Wild Horses in Winds of Change have received critical acclaim as well as national and international distribution. Her production company, Skydancer Productions, produces character-driven films with a focus on stewardship of the earth, compassion for animals and conservation and respect for water and resources.

This summer she is teaching:

  • Screenwriting
  • iMovie: Video Production
  • Documentary Filmmaking for youtube

Join us this summer and follow your curiosity with this multi-faceted filmmaking professional. 

Mara says, “True filmmaking is a collaboration, where artists of the craft optimize a story’s impact from initial idea to a full-screen emotional experience. The bronze Telly Award that sits on my mantle is there because of many others whose artistry enhanced my vision. Teaching extends my rewarding experience as a filmmaker and writer for generations to come."
