In Need of Programming

Categories:

Hey everyone-

Hope the first week is going well. Mine's swell. I even have a workspace and in the future, a file cabinet. exciting.

Anyways...

I'm at Media Bridges and my job this year is to start and build the MB Youth Channel. The first stage is to look for programming made by youth. And since we don't really have that yet, I'm hoping that other orginzations (digital storytelling included) may have some videos they are willing to share for public access. Credit, of course, will be given to the producers and the distrubters.

So any one out there who has videos, made by youth (25 and under), and is happy to play it on Cincinnati Local Cable Access, would be much appreciated. Once we get our program going, maybe we can exhange???

email me if interested.

thanks

Hey Lauren.

I worked with a youth documentary camp over the summmer, which produced 7 short documentaries. The program I am with now also produces youth documentaries, but I haven't watched them yet. If you are interested in showing this kind of stuff, let me know, and I'll ask around to see if it's okay for you to use.

I will talk to Jeanne. I bet we can send you some of the MoLLIE projects. Many of those were made by Middle and High Schoolers. Mostly PSA's and the like. Nothing as awsome as the stuff from Media that Matters, but they would probably meet your requirements.

Later,

Rich

Hey Lauren,

You're looking for content for your station to show on the air, made by youth? You should get hooked into this new digital distribution network that Andrew from the MNN Youth Channel is trying to create where public access stations could exchange content. He might have some handy immediately to share with you on DVD too. Send him an email and let him know I sent ya.

Also, check out Digital Bicycle, a digital distribution project for community media centers in development.

Also, if any of you who commented could put up an examples on Blip.tv and tag it "ctcvista", it could show up on the CTC VISTA site as well.
