OUR EXPERIENCES
Faith-centered filmmaking retreats where creativity meets calling. Each experience is designed to help you grow in your craft, encounter God, and build lasting community with other Christian storytellers.
Costa Rica
A 9-day filmmaking retreat set in the diverse landscapes of Costa Rica. From the bustling streets of San José to the beach town of Jacó and the mountain community of Santiago de Puriscal, you will capture travel sequences, product-style pieces, interviews, and documentary vérité while learning the fundamentals of visual storytelling.
This experience combines hands-on production with spiritual rhythms: daily devotion, worship nights, testimony circles, and structured time to hear from God about your calling as a creative. You will leave with finished projects, new friendships, and a clearer sense of how your craft fits into God's story.

A Texas Hill Country retreat for church media leaders who need focus, stillness, and a clear path forward in their calling. Just outside the Austin, Texas area, this small group experience is designed for media leaders and creatives serving in the local church.
Across three days you will capture real testimonies, interviews, worship and teaching coverage, and a short film, while learning simple, repeatable workflows you can take back home. You will leave with usable footage, practical systems for Sundays and special events, and a renewed vision for how your media team can serve your church.
