The class is an eight week course beginning Wednesday February 6th  from 7:30 to 9:30 and will be taught by WCAT’s Technical Coordinator Scott Kurland.

“Documentary filmmaking is a huge component to the inner workings of the television and film industry, and this class will provide local filmmakers with the tools they need to start on their own cinematic journey,” said Kurland. “Being a documentarian myself I’m always urging people to pick up a camera and record the world around them. This workshop will allow people to do that, as well as providing examples of other famous documentarians.”
