Documentary Pre-Production Support

Silverlight Productions Inc. is seeking a team of learners to assist in the pre-production phase of their upcoming documentary projects. The primary goal is to conduct research on a variety of subjects and topics to support the documentary's narrative and factual accuracy as well as the development of new materials. This project offers learners the opportunity to apply their organizational, research, and creative skills in a real-world setting, bridging the gap between classroom knowledge and industry practices. Besides resarch, the student will use the material gathered to create pitch materials. By developing pitch materials, learners will also gain insight into the process of presenting and selling documentary concepts to potential stakeholders.
