Workshop: Creating Long-term Documentaries and Book Projects

 

Description: This will be an excellent opportunity for you to move your long-term project to the next level, whether you are starting a new one or have a
work-in-progress that needs some attention. The five meetings are spread out over ten weeks so the evolution of your project will be the focus of the class.
This is a hands-on class that will cover the process from execution to completion. The instructor, Lonny Shavelson, will share his own latest book project
and that production process to help you learn how your own publication process might be. You will be working on:
- refining your idea and vision
- gaining entry to the story and community or subject
- focusing the theme and story line
- deciding on a publication format (magazine, book, exhibit, etc)
- actual design and distribution of your work

Be ready for some great participatory learning. This class will be small enough for your particular needs to get attention within the group. Students will
have the opportunity to design a book - details to come!
