Want to turn it into a documentary?

The Harvard Law Documentary Studio is now accepting project proposals for our 2012 Summer Projects. We’d like to support these Summer Projects by providing the student filmmaker with equipment (Panasonic DVX 100 camera, shotgun mic, tripod, boom pole and/or wireless lav mic), basic technical training prior to the summer, and potentially some financial support. After the summer, a film would continue to receive training and workshop support as one of our 2012-13 Annual Projects.

No experience is necessary, but filmmakers must be enrolled students on campus for the 2012-13 academic year. (*Keep in mind that if you’re working at a summer job, and your film proposal isn’t related to your work, you still might have some time before or after your job to take on a short film project.)

* Proposals are due by 5pm on Friday, March 30. Email us ( harvardlawdocs at gmail.com) with questions. Learn more about the Harvard Law Documentary Studio here: http://www.harvardlawdocs.org/
