About this Event

Step into the world of documentary filmmaking in this immersive, hands-on workshop designed for aspiring videographers who often work solo.


Whether you’re a beginner or looking to sharpen your storytelling skills, this class will guide you through the full process of capturing compelling interviews and meaningful b-roll — all in a 2 hour workshop!


We’ll bring in a local artist, craftsperson, or creative — someone with a story to tell and something to show. You’ll learn how to:



  • Set up and conduct a professional interview (even as a one-person crew)
  • Capture clean audio and flattering lighting
  • Direct and frame your subject with intention
  • Shoot supporting b-roll that enhances the narrative

By the end of the session, you’ll have filmed a 5–8 minute mini-documentary. After the workshop, we’ll edit the footage and send you the final piece — so you can see how your work comes together in post-production.


Perfect for:



  • Solo shooters and content creators
  • Photographers transitioning into video
  • Anyone curious about documentary storytelling
