COM 212 Co-Creative Documentary Abroad

This faculty-led travel course takes students abroad to co-create short documentary films with local changemakers solving problems in their own communities. Students spend the first seven weeks on campus doing preproduction planning and equipment training. They then travel over Spring Break to meet the changemakers, shoot footage on location, and engage with local culture, history, and traditions before returning to campus to edit the films over the last seven weeks. Students will develop production skills, cross-cultural understanding, and collaborative media advocacy techniques. There are no language or production prerequisites for this course.
