June 27th – August 16th, Portland, Oregon
Part summer camp, part production house, Media Institute’s Summer Documentary Program is a seven-week intensive and exciting adventure. The city serves as a hands-on laboratory as students make video documentaries about local solutions to global issues. Participants are immersed in hardcore classroom academics and hands-on production experience; a potent recipe that helps students mature their passions into practical job skills, and produce engaging, professional-quality documentaries. We work with award-winning filmmakers, radio personalities and local politicos to teach about how media projects can effectively bring about positive social change.
