Actuality Media is an organization that takes media students to developing countries to produce videos for social enterprises and nonprofits.
Last summer we had three successful outreaches in Latin America. In the summer of 2012 we are going back – Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala - and we are seeking out interested students to join us on this adventure.
A quick summary:
Lack of access to media resources keeps many brilliant social organizations out of the international spotlight. Actuality Media aims to rectify that.
Next summer, up to 5 crews will travel for a month to each outreach location. While on site, each 4-student crew will research, write, shoot and edit a short documentary film about a local social enterprise under the guidance of a supervising producer. Once the documentary is completed, the social enterprises that are the subject of the films will use the media to further their mission. The films these students create will be distributed internationally.
There is a program fee to participate in the outreaches, but it is very competitive compared to other study abroad and volunteering opportunities. There are currently no other organizations arranging video production programs like this. Students may apply either as individuals or in teams.
"Ritmo En Los Barrios" is just one video our crews made last summer.
A flyer for the upcoming outreaches is attached - please forward this on to your students.

Also, if you know any students that are finished with school after the current term, please let them know that we are still accepting applications for our January outreach to Chiang Mai, Thailand.
