You Are Invited California Listens: Santa Monica Stories
June 28, 2016 9:40 AM
Santa Monica, California – Santa Monica Public Library invites you to share your family or personal story and learn the basics of Digital Storytelling. This free, two-day workshop on August 5 and 6 is part of California Listens, a summer-long program sponsored by the California State Library and led by Berkeley-based StoryCenter.
In this workshop, you will create a 2 to 4-minute video using your personal and family photographs, videos and archival material. Learn how to tell a great story, write and record a narration script and the basics of video editing. The video you create will become part of a statewide archive of stories about life in California.
We are looking for stories that reflect the full spectrum of life in Santa Monica. Long-time residents, newcomers, surfers, artists and entrepreneurs, Douglas Aircraft families – we want to hear from you! There is a limit of 10 participants for this workshop. Interest forms must be complete and returned by July 8, 2016.
This program is free and open to people ages 14 and up. We encourage you to apply online at http://smpl.org/yourstory/ or pick up an interest form at any Santa Monica Public Library location. The Santa Monica Public Library is wheelchair accessible. For special disabled services, call Library Administration at (310) 458-8606 at least one week prior to event.
