WorldNomads.com is offering an opportunity for students to try their hand at documentary filmmaking. In conjunction with Nat Geo Adventure, Gap Adventures and Hostelworld, we are offering the chance to go on assignment with noted producer Trent O’Donnell to Ecuador to produce a documentary that will be considered for broadcast on the Nat Geo Adventure channel.
The winner of the scholarship will be flown to Ecuador from their country of residence. They will join their mentor and team from Gap Adventures to explore the Amazonian jungle and homestay with the Quichua community. The winner’s mission is to document how sustainable tourism has impacted the small indigenous community.
Applicants for the scholarship must compile a 3 minute (or less) video documentary in English based around the theme ‘Local Encounters’.
All interested students should visit WorldNomads.com Scholarships for full application details. The deadline for entries is August 1, 2010.
