Session

Join us for a hands-on session where you’ll explore filmmaking as a tool for engagement and storytelling. Use equipment from Dokk1’s Media Lab to create a collaborative mini-film, and learn from rural U.S. library programs. Leave with guides, equipment lists, and the confidence to bring filmmaking to your community—regardless of budget!
