Crafting digital stories: an introduction to filmmaking

A 4-session workshop in partnership with Lifelong Learning at the University of Utah

Filmmaking is an exciting and reflective way to learn about yourself and your community. Join a local filmmaker to explore DIY strategies to make this art form an accessible way for you to tell your story. You'll discover the technical aspects of filmmaking including scripting, shooting, and editing using readily-available gear such as your cell phone, tablet, and/or laptop. In each meeting you'll learn about various filmmaking techniques, have opportunities to practice and play, and consider prompts for reflection. In our final session, we'll share our films and observations. No film experience necessary; all are welcome!
