lens lab: take 1 | ONE day filmmaking challenge
Lens Lab: Take 1 was an immersive 1-day filmmaking challenge for aspiring creatives aged 17–24. Hosted by Leverage Lens, this hands-on workshop invites participants to dive into the world of filmmaking through real-time collaboration, guided mentorship, and the opportunity to create a short film in just one day.
Participants worked in small teams on one of four project types — music video, documentary, narrative film, web-series or commercial — with each group mentored by an experienced industry professional. This was a unique chance to build their skills, expand their portfolio, and connect with other young creatives in a fast-paced, supportive environment.
