Join film maker Jeff Sterne for a 3-part online series on how to make a documentary!

Follow this series of informal videos created by documentary film maker Jeff Sterne to learn about the three stages of filmmaking: Development, Production, and Postproduction. Participants are invited to create your own mini documentary and submit it to the library to be featured!

Use what you’ve learned and create your own film and it could be featured with the library for other customers to view. The deadline to submit your documentary is November 26^th, 2020. You can submit by uploading your film to a video sharing website of your choosing (YouTube, Vimeo, Daily Motion, etc) and sending the link to Documentary Submissions. Alternatively, you can make arrangements to drop off your film on DVD or USB by emailing us here.
