About Documentary Film Academy
Helping everyday people turn their stories into real documentary films.
Welcome to Documentary Film Academy.
Documentary Film Academy was set up by Sebastian Solberg, who has spent over two decades making documentary films for brands like Canon, Red Bull, Google, Visa, and Harvard University, and teaching filmmaking at institutions including Imperial College London.
Documentary Film Academy exists to give everyday people a clear, step-by-step way to turn their stories into real documentary films. No film school required. No fancy gear. Just a proven method built from real production experience.
WHY STORIES ARE IMPORTANT
Stories shape the world. The stories we are told, the lenses that frame each scene, and the faces chosen to represent us all determine how we see the world and our place in it.
At Documentary Film Academy, we know how powerful a real story can be when it's told with clarity and heart. That's why this academy was built, to help ordinary people from all walks of life pick up a camera or a phone and share the stories that matter most to them.
No expensive film school. No confusing jargon. Just a clear process, built from two decades of real production work, that takes you from idea to finished film.
