Neighborhood Journalism - Mobile Activism Storytelling.

We're Looking for People to Share Community Stories!

Tuesday & Thursday Evenings from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. | October 1 – 10

Most people carry an entire production studio in their pockets. Engage in our four-session program and help build a community of mobile activists to share the stories of the people around you. We're looking for people interested in everything from sports to gardening, cooking to animal rescues, overlooked issues to hot-takes on common topics.
 

Throughout the four one-hour classes over two weeks, learn how to use a smartphone to produce, shoot, and edit a three to five-minute story for maximum impact. Public Media Network will have Mobile Activism kits for you to check out and use for the course.
 

Please bring an idea for a three-to-five-minute story to the first class to discuss. Ideas include interviewing a friend or family member about one of their interests; an introduction to a group of hobbyists (e.g., knitting, board games, woodworking, etc.), a feature about your favorite spot in town (e.g., walking trail, park, coffee shop, etc.). Editing will be done on the phone or with Davinci Resolve, an advanced, yet easy-to-use application. At the end of four sessions, you will have your first story package produced to be broadcast through Public Media Network.
 

Class space is limited so you can have individualized attention and support. Please be prepared to spend some time outside of the workshop to work on your story.
