Ensure your production team’s safety and learn best practices to anticipate and respond to emerging security, medical and crisis needs. Filmmaker Response to Risks and Emergencies is a hybrid risk reduction and medical first response course that will prepare students to evaluate perils using practical tools and techniques. Students will learn to develop effective responses using safety plans and resources, as well as how to draw up communications and reporting documentation. With guidelines for special circumstances like riots, crowds, and checkpoints, participants will engage in problem-solving scenarios based on real life examples and learn life-saving procedures.
At the end of this workshop, small emergency First Aid Kit will be available for purchase at $40/participant.
