Barefoot Workshops has announced a call for applications for a 2 Week Documentary Workshop in The Mississippi Delta, beginning February 17th, 2008.

This 2-week DV workshop is designed for photojournalists who are looking to make the move to videojournalism and the web, new documentary filmmakers who want to launch their careers in web and television documentaries and for those with experience in some aspects of filmmaking that are looking to expand their skill, understanding and mastery of the whole process. Producers, cinematographers, editors and writers with narrative experience who are considering working in non-fiction filmmaking are also encouraged to enroll. This workshop is ideal for working professionals who want to develop important skills, which will allow them to work with other filmmakers.  

Students will learn all aspects of the process including the importance of the still image, DV camera, compact lighting methods, field sound, field editing and how to weave the story.

Last year’s videos and more information about this workshop and others that Barefoot runs are available on their site. You can also email Barefoot founder Chander Griffin at chandler@barefootworkshops.org for information on enrolling in this Workshop.
