Klamath River Early College of the Redwoods is offering a summer filmmaking workshop for teens. The KRECR Documentary Institute runs three days a week from July 18 to Aug. 3 and is now accepting applications. In its first-ever filmmaking summer program, students in the KRECR Documentary Institute will learn the latest techniques in video production, computer design, and new media distribution as they work collaboratively to create a film about an important community issue. The workshop will explore the power of media to create positive change in the Klamath community, and the finished film will be exhibited locally, online and on television. The KRECR Documentary Institute is the second youth media project developed through the school’s partnership with Access Humboldt, a non-profit community media center and broadband access provider located on the campus of Eureka High School. The program is funded in part by Building Healthy Communities and ZeroDivide, a San-Francisco-based nonprofit that works to expand broadband access in low-income communities. Students with an interest in creative arts and storytelling, technology, and community engagement are encouraged to apply. All accepted students will receive a full scholarship. Applications may be filled out at KRECR, 168 Klamath Blvd. in Klamath, today. Students may also apply online until July 1, at http://accesshumboldt.net/site/krecr2012 |
