Freedom Hill Youth Media Camp

A 4-week documentary production program in the rural South connecting students ages 14-19 to North Carolina’s rich Black history and concepts of environmental justice through documentary filmmaking. 

Students are guided through each stage of the documentary filmmaking process, from research and creative treatment development, to cinematography and post-production by industry professionals. Students apply the concepts learned through a group short documentary about Princeville’s annual Homecoming celebration. A cohort of 8 students are invited to participate in the first year programming, each taking on a key crew role to form a full student production team, complete with a director, producer, editor, DP and more.
