What we learned from a documentary filmmaker about journalism
Location
Alhambra , CA United StatesIn his presentation on “backpack journalism,” documentary filmmaker Ming Lai took the Alhambra Source Community Voices contributors through producing high-quality multimedia journalism. Turns out, you don’t need the most expensive equipment, but a good plan and a willingness to experiment and think on one’s feet. We’re so grateful to Ming for taking the time to teach us what he knows. Check out his latest film, Visions of Warriors, which follows veterans as they treat their mental illness by participating in the groundbreaking Veteran Photo Recovery Project, which we wrote about in 2014.
