Experiencing The Mississippi Delta — February 2005

Messenger’s

A Film By: Charlotte Buchen, Ria Nurrachman

About The Film

George Messenger runs the oldest black-owned business in Clarksdale, Mississippi—home of the Delta blues. Clarksdale has changed in many ways since the days of sharecropping and the Jim Crow South. But, as George asks, has it changed enough?

About The Workshop

This 2-week HDV workshop runs twice a year and is designed for photojournalists who are looking to make the move to video-journalism and the web, new documentary filmmakers who want to launch their careers in web and television documentaries and for those with experience in some aspects of filmmaking that are looking to expand their skill, understanding and mastery of the whole process. Producers, cinematographers, editors and writers with narrative experience who are considering working in non-fiction filmmaking are also encouraged to enroll.

Students learn all aspects of the process including the importance of the still image, HDV camera, compact lighting methods, field sound, field editing and how to weave the story.
