"15 weeks at Salt rearranged 80% of my brain.
The person I was when I arrived at Salt was not the person I was when I left. I walked away with more skills, ideas, and confidence than I could've ever imagined." [ Paula Mauro // radio08 ]
Motivated individuals from all walks of life come to Salt to focus 15 weeks of their life on just one thing: documentary storytelling. For some, it's a career shift. For others, it's one giant evolutionary step. Either way, one very intense semester is spent taking what once was a passion, hobby, or part time job and turning it into a new way of life.
Choose one path: Writing. Radio. Photography.
Spend countless hours in the field. Spend just as many in the classroom. Learn all about the world of documentary and how to navigate it. Take the time to critically examine your work and the work of your classmates in your track in a collaborative, peer environment. Then, come together as a group in Approaches and Issues to debate questions of ethics and discuss the nuances of doing documentary work.
Bring your passion, your ideas, your fears, your unfinished projects... Leave with a body of beautifully crafted, in-depth stories of professional quality and a new [resourceful, confident, talented] you.
