Capture the Event: Concert Truck in the Vine

By converting a simple box truck into a fully functional mobile concert hall, pianists Nick Luby and Susan Zhang are able to bring their music to people who may not have access to traditional concert venues. Volunteers will assist in capturing the event at El Sol Elementary using a Mobile Activism Kit to record B-Roll footage and conduct interviews with event-goers and performers to delve deeper into the purpose of the event.

August 3  |  4:00 p.m.

Smartphone Storytelling for Non-Profits

Do you work with a nonprofit that has something to say? Gain the skills to use your smartphone to capture the story and impact of your nonprofit’s work in the community!  Most of us carry an entire production studio in our pockets and don’t even realize it. 

We’ve developed a program that will help you join our network of community reporters and start sharing the stories of your community. 

The class includes four, one-hour sessions at $150 per registrant.  

August 6 – 15  |  Tuesday & Thursday Afternoons from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m.
