The 14-Week Workshop covers all aspects of film and video production and supports participants in the completion of short projects. Many of this year’s participants are also members of Scribe’s Film Scholars. The program consists of a series of short-form documentary videomaking training courses designed to support emerging filmmakers in completing new work. Join us in celebrating these new films:
