KOKORO WORKSHOP
Wedding cinema workshop
Kokoro (Japanese: 心) means "heart; mind; mentality; emotions; feelings" in Japanese.
Heart, that word symbolizes the way we work, the way we edit. But also our passion for educating and sharing. As wedding filmmakers we need to posses a lot of different skills in various subjects. Ranging from shooting, creative editing to fully running and operating a business. It’s not an easy job and takes a lot of time to master.
A skillset that we have been optimizing for over 15 years. From working at big corporations, to starting and running a creative agency helping start-ups with branding, strategy and creative concepts, to taking Maru Films to an international acknowledged brand. With these experiences we provide very concrete tools to help you take your business and creativity to the next level.
The third edition of the kokoro workshop is even better, more optimized and personal than previous editions to provide even more value to our attendees. We teach you how to create a healthy business, with the right tools to get the clients you want, while inspiring you to do greater (creative) things.

Testimonials
Lauri van Bodegraven says:
I followed a workshop of Pui-Yuk and Remi and I have never been more creative and authentic in my work than after their workshop! They were so open about the whole process and I learned a lot from that. My level of editing has gone way up and more people are booking me because they love the work that I deliver now. Thank you so much guys!
