Description

Make your own documentary film in this hands-on workshop. Explore how filmmakers create meaning using image, voice, and audio.

You’ll edit video clips from public domain films and add music of your choosing. Tie it all together by adding your own narration track. Documentary filmmaker Justin Schell will lead the participants through the process. At the end of the workshop, participants will have completed a 30 second film.

Justin Schell is a filmmaker, writer, and Learning Design Specialist for the U-M Libraries, where he heads the Shapiro Design Lab. His first documentary, Travel in Spirals, tells the powerful story of Hmong hip-hop artist Tou SaiKo Lee's journey back to Thailand, 30 years after he was born in a refugee camp there.

His other video work has been shown in the Walker Art Center, Twin Cities Public Television, and online at the Huffington Post and the Progressive and screened in the Twin Cities Film Fest, Twin Cities Underground Film Festival, and the Qhia Dab Neeg Hmong Film Festival. He regularly teaches courses on documentary production, interviewing, and editing.
