Mountainly is an educational program that teaches the fundamentals of documentary filmmaking through short-form content. Teams of students and early-career professionals are given a platform to each share a local environmental issue. Through an online course series, this program teaches how to tell that story clearly, and in a way that fits today's media reality. Participants learn to translate complex topics into human stories that people can connect with.

This free course is for anyone under 28 who wants to tell stories about nature, the things that matter to them, or the work that's genuinely making a difference in the world.

If you're curious, willing to learn, and ready to put in real effort to make great videos and share that with others, this is for you.
