During this nine-week summer program, students learn elements that are essential to producing documentary films—from developing a film’s core idea and story, to thinking about its impact on its audiences, to the nuts-and-bolts of video production. After examining the critical issues of our region’s oceans and seashores, students develop their own stories and produce their own short documentaries. The films premiere at the end of the Blue Horizons program in UCSB’s Pollock Theater.
