I've received your pre-qualification form—thank you for taking the time to fill it out. This information will help my team and me get a better sense of who we can best serve with the Ocean Footage Mastery Program and bring the right people into the course.

I'll be personally reviewing each submission, and this may take a bit of time as I am currently working on some local shoots in Cape Town.

Expect to hear from me directly to schedule a Zoom call before the end of the year, where we can discuss your goals and dive into any questions you may have.

Looking forward to connecting soon,
Roger
