This weekend or week-long program is primarily designed for high or middle school teachers interested in teaching media literacy, script writing, and video production. Program participants work in teams of 4 or 5 to produce a drama, documentary or animated short with the guidance of a professional media producer. The emphasis of the program is on process rather than product, and includes ongoing discussion of various teaching techniques proven effective in training youth in video production.
This is the ninth year of this popular intensive program, and space is limited.
