Bon Voyage GoodMakers!



By producing documentary films for nonprofit organizations, GoodMakers helps charities visually communicate their message around the world.

May 2010 GoodMakers will travel deep into the bush in Tanzania to shadow the dynamic Dr Frank, a former American anesthesiologist turned 'Bush Doctor' who brings his mobile medical clinic and critical medical services to the local Masai tribes people, many who have never been treated by a doctor before. In additional to the mobile medical clinic, Dr Frank's foundation is in the process of building a hospital and birthing center to serve the Karatu community of 20,000 people. Dr Frank is the only medical specialist within a 600 mile radius.

The Selous Film Camp in the southern part of Tanzania is TSC’s training ground for aspiring filmmakers. From there film crews go to the other national parks like Katavi, Ruaha, Mikumi and Saadani. Film courses are offered two times a year and scholarships are available.
Selous Film Camp has invited GoodMakers to teach a digital film lab in Arusha, Tanzania May 2010. It will start with a week long film course and then the best three students will join the GoodMakers crew on the shoot in Karatu to film the FAME and Dr. Frank documentary.
