All registered students must be willing to attend all sessions shown above and to participate fully in the program. The filmmaking process moves quickly and missing more than one class could negatively affect individual learning, group productivity, and the overall project.
Editing workstations and software will be available after the final class at Tacoma Public Library's Digital Media Lab, located at 1102 Tacoma Avenue at the Main Branch of Tacoma Public Library. Reservations can be made by contacting jhargis@tacomalibrary.org or by calling (253) 280-2812.
