Keynotes andcase studies
"I have had the pleasure of working Film & Campaign on several occasions, including running workshops on building outreach campaigns. It has been a real joy and fruitful experience, both from a personal and professional point of view. I highly recommend others to work with Film & Campaign if you need to strategise for a campaign, run your outreach or want to get educated in this field." – Ove Rishøj Jensen, Documentary Producer and Consultant, Copenhagen / Malmö
