Lets face it, if you’re going to keep the money rolling in as a documentary filmmaker, chances are you’ll need to be a mighty fine multi-skiller. In any event, the rate of change in this industry means that we’ve all got to work hard to keep up with new opportunities and technological developments. So, it’s with this in mind, that we are proud to present the Multi-Skilling Month.
