The Documentary Production Program offers a two-semester program of studies that ranges from documentary theory and history to hands-on, project based documentary production. In this program students receive a solid grounding in the business of independent documentary production and the current Canadian policy landscape of documentary funding, marketing and distribution. Guided by documentary and production professionals, students learn how to perform effectively as researchers, script writers, camera operators, sound recordists, video editors, field producers, directors and production managers. Graduates are prepared to work with confidence in a variety of broadcast and non-broadcast settings. Program graduates develop skill sets to work as independent documentary makers or as in-house producers and video project managers of fact-based programs for government, NGO, institutional and corporate clients.
