ABOUT MY PLACE FILMMAKING WORKSHOPS
MY PLACE is a digital storytelling workshop where young people create
short films about the places in which they live: their neighborhood, their
home, their school, their church, the place where they seek refuge when
they need to be alone. The workshops take place in Marin, San Francisco
and Oakland communities during Spring break and summer vacation each year.
Workshop participants will have the opportunity to write their own stories,
record voiceovers, and use multimedia technology to create short videos.
Professionals from the Center
for Digital Storytelling in Berkeley will help the participants use
digital storytelling tools to tell their own unique, personal stories
through film.
TELL YOUR STORY ON YOUR OWN TERMS
The participants will be welcome to invite family and friends to their
film’s World Premiere at a local theater and college. Digital stories
will also be eligible for entry into the 2008 Mill Valley Film Festival
in October 2008.
A week before the workshop, the participants with their sponsors and
with their families if they choose will come to an evening orientation
where the teachers and project leaders will be introduced and a local
filmmaker will speak to them about the relationship between a film and
where it takes place.
REQUIREMENTS
- Have a desire to tell a
story about where you live.
- Age 13 to 18 (some exceptions made on an individual basis).
- Able to respect and cooperate
with all participants at the workshop.
- Attend all 5 days of the workshop and the evening orientation.
