"Digital Storytelling" is the last workshop in our spring 2008 "Be The Media!" series. It will take place a week from Sunday (on June 1) between 1 and 5 PM.
This workshop will be taught by veteran NYC documentary makers and media educators Jen Wager and Devorah Hill.
If you have a short story you want to tell, and have been wanting to learn simple digital tools to turn your photographs, writings, and/or video footage into a coherent and well-structured multimedia piece, then this workshop is for you! Love stories, s/hero stories, recovery stories, coming of age stories... everyone has a story to tell. Learn to tell yours with these techniques and make it look good.
