"I traveled from Australia to attend the Adventure Film School and it didn't disappoint. It was awesome to be amongst fellow aspiring adventure filmmakers on our own adventure and having to take full responsibility for creating our own short adventure film. The best part of the the film school was being able to bounce ideas off fellow students and the instructors which often led to gaining a totally different perspective on the film."

--- Jack McCowan

Update
Since returning from the Adventure Film School, Jack has managed the outdoor program at Mt. Baw Baw Alpine Resort.
