What is a Video Workshop?
These are community based workshops that will teach you how to make a short film. You will work in small groups with a workshop facilitator and several mentors to help guide you through the process of story development, video recording, editing, and then sharing your work with others. These workshops were developed in response to community members' interest in creating media from their own perspectives and in their own voices. With your permission, your work will be aired on Bismarck's community access cable channel, at this website, and at Vimeo.com through the project's website. You can earn 2 CEUs, or continuing education credits, through the Nueta Hidatsa Arikara College for attending a five day workshop.
