The workshop is aimed at teaching visual storytelling skills to media workers, content creators, students and those in related fields.

Two media trainers from Singapore are among the facilitators, said organising chairperson Jane Moh during a media conference.

“We have also invited creative and film director Dexter Anthony to give training on video shooting and editing,” she said.

Anthuvan and Ng will provide training in English and Chinese respectively.

At the end of the training, participants are required to film, edit and present a two-minute video.

Early birds need only pay RM80 for the workshop fee or RM150 for both the workshop fee and accommodation costs for two nights.
