The documentary studies element of our training is made up of weekly tutorials covering every aspect of the filmmaking process to give participants all the skills they need to produce a film of real quality. Learn, improve or perfect your Spanish during your gap year. The tutors from OTOXO Productions are native English speakers but also fluent in Spanish. Productions are designed to combine the two languages to the needs of each participant, and different production roles can be conducted by participants with different levels of Spanish, from beginner to proficient. So whether you are looking to take your first steps in learning the language or take it to the next level, our productions are ideal. And also, if you want to take that extra step, with productions starting every September and January, theres always the opportunity to fit some language studies into your gap year before you start production.
