Discovering the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University in North Carolina has propelled my project into its next phase! From July 9-22, 2017 I spent two weeks collaborating with documentarians and basking in the creative mentorship of John Biewen–award-winning audio producer and Audrey Quinn–independent producer, journalist, and instructor at NYU’s School of Journalism.
These intense and creative interactions have honed the next phase of my project. Over the next 18 months, I’ll be tracking down interviews, sifting through transcriptions and crafting a long-form audio documentary.
