COURSE DESCRIPTION:
"What story have you always wanted to tell?

To prepare for this class:
• Choose a person for your documentary. It can be a relative, or a local community member. That person should be available for interviews and tied to an interesting location or activity.
• Have a short pitch ready about why this would be an interesting story.
