Abigail Drake called us. She wanted to be on TV. More specifically, she wanted to create a TV program – a presentation about recycling fabric and fast fashion as part of her Gold Star scouting project. Could we help her with that?
Yes. It’s what we do. It’s local community television. It’s citizen TV.
It’s the promise of access to public media – available to anyone. Public Access TV. It began as the dream of a New York City film maker, George Stoney 50 years ago. In that earlier TV era video cameras and editing equipment were expensive and hard to come by – let alone access to a TV channel. Citizens could learn the basics of video craft – shooting and editing scenes to produce their own TV programs. Times have changed. The video equipment has changed, but the mission remains. Today, everyone has a smartphone camera, a laptop, and streaming media on the internet.
What more do you need?
A studio? Graphics? Creative guidance? A technical crew? Yes. It’s what we do.
