Jazzed! Series on KCTS

KCTS Television is looking for youth-related jazz stories from the Northwest to feature in its Jazzed! series.

The segments have to date included one on a seven-year-old girl picking up a trumpet for the first time, to a portrait of accomplished high-school jazzers competing in New York in a national competition.

The station is asking anyone with promising story ideas to get in touch about taking part in a workshop, beginning in March, on the fundamentals of video production.

Instructors from the 9 Media Lab will offer guidance on story development, storytelling skills using video, and how to shoot, produce, and edit video.

The workshop is geared to be accessible to rank beginners. Finished projects are considered for airing on KCTS9.org and on-air programming.

The workshop is free, but requires registration at http://kcts9.org/form/jazzed-workshops.

For information, contact Vicki Ferguson at 9MediaLab@KCTS9.org.
