75 FILMAKERS : 1 BEACH : FUEL YOUR CREATIVITY
RISE
"If something rises, it moves upwards"
- Collins
RISE film retreat is the UK's first wedding film festival, solely aimed at wedding videographers. Set in a beautiful private cove in Cornwall on it's own private beach, it will be a creative safe space to learn from the best, be inspired and build relationships with fellow industry folk in a relaxing coastal environment.
Our aim is to create a friendly, supportive community for
like-minded wedding filmmakers from all walks of life, who understand the power and beauty in a collaborative spirit. Including talks from a wide range of International speakers with varying styles, combined with practical workshops, we believe there is no ‘right’ way to make a wedding film, but by immersing yourself amongst fellow industry bests, you can focus on continuing to develop on your own style and storytelling approach.
We work too hard to still be considered as a luxury, rather than a necessity in the wedding budget, so let's change that and be proud that we are constantly raising the standard for wedding cinematography worldwide. Whether you are just starting out, or a seasoned pro, RISE is the perfect kick start you’ll need to give you that creative boost just as you enter wedding season.
