The 2016 Spring Film Production workshop at story booth will offer students an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of documentary film production. In this hands-on workshop, the students will be introduced to the history, aesthetics, and concepts of documentary film production, the basics of digital-cinema camera operation, lighting, sound recording, and editing. The students will use the documentary form to tell their own stories and stories about the people and things that shape their world. The workshop will culminate in a special screening of the student films, as well as an opportunity to submit their work to potentially be shown as part of a youth programming block during the 2016 Indie Memphis Film Festival.
