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.
