WHAT WE DID
InnoNative assembled media productions kits of for participant, which occluded: camera, lighting, sound, and editing equipment that would be used throughout the program to build skillsets and familiarity with the storytelling process - and successfully completing the program meant that each participant could keep their production kit to further their careers.
To fit within the village’s youth summer work program, this project was developed as a hybrid program that included 3 in-person week-long intensives, paired with remote and independent learning which included a custom developed online curriculum and resource hub.
