The Introduction to Digital Media Storytelling Workshop at Columbia University School of Journalism in New York was so fantastic that I felt compelled to book in for the Advanced Multimedia Workshop. During this workshop, we worked on putting together a short (10 minute or under) video to tell a story. My project was a documentary of local non-profit organization, Sure We Can, based in Brooklyn, New York. Sure We Can is a redemption centre for canners around the city to bring their cans for recycling and to collect the deposit on bottles and cans. For many homeless people, and others, this is a full time job and how they make their living. This video tells a little about the lifestyle of canning, and documents the story of how this organization was successfully formed by the canners themselves.
Enjoy!
