Geared toward low-income adults and adults of color, our Doc U Program hopes to create a supportive environment for first-time documentary filmmakers to tell their stories and stories of their communities. Doc U is a FREE 15-week beginner program for 12 limited income and underrepresented adults to learn camera, editing and documentary production from SPNN staff and Twin Cities artists. The program runs Monday evenings 6-9 PM, May 6th through August 19th with a community screening of participants’ completed films on Saturday, August 13th time to be determined.
The program’s purpose is to shed light on voices and topics that otherwise go unheard in mainstream media. Participants will be guided through the creative process, learning all aspects of documentary filmmaking. This includes training in video camera techniques; the use of sound and lighting equipment; and video editing using Adobe Premiere CC.
