Learning Documentary Work

Via Jenny, a mention of Duke University's Center for Documentary Studies, which features courses on documentary production and other cool events and activities. Jenny reports that she's taking courses on audio production and fieldwork, both of which sound interesting (not to mention the opportunity to work in communities in Durham). If you've read this blog for more than a few days, you probably know that I've written quite a bit about documentary films, but like her, I'd like to check out the production side of things from time to time.

You may have noticed that I've added a new category for this entry, "Life in NC." The goal for this category is to track local opportunities in my soon-to-be home state. One of the claims about electronic media is that it destroys any sense of place, but I've often found the opposite to be true when it comes to blogging, which can be used very effectively to foster community on a very local level. I don't anticipate that my "Life in NC" entries will represent any kind of systematic focus, but hopefully the category will allow me to track opportunities to meet up with locals who share similar interests.
