Applications are now closed for the Fall 2025 cycle and will reopen in early Summer 2026

Every year, Loisaida Center offers community members the opportunity to learn to use Blackmagic Cinema cameras, conduct interviews and learn about audio equipment, to edit a finished piece using Davinci Studio or Adobe Premiere Pro.

Participants will create original, short, documentary-based works and, in the process, explore in their own voice, filming and audio production to meaningfully engage with their community through storytelling.

This workshop is led and facilitated by professional documentary filmmakers.

• Every Thursday, and Friday evenings, and Saturday afternoons in the Fall.

• Selected participants also receive a stipend for their commitment, consistent attendance, and participation throughout the program. 
• There will be a public screening at the end of the workshop.
• If you are between the ages of 18 and 35 and consider yourself an ally of women, persons of color, and the LGTBQ+ communities, an emergent or pre-emergent creator, media enthusiast, maker/inventor, entrepreneur, or creative, then you are all encouraged to apply!

Media Used for Justice Equity and Respect (M.U.J.E.R.) is a six-month program that brings a unique opportunity for youth ages 18 to young adults up to 33 years, to lead an independent media production project working hands-on at the Loisaida Center’s Multimedia space.
