Catalog description

This course is designed to teach students how to post-produce and finally complete a long-form (more than 42-minutes’ duration) documentary film suitable for television broadcast or distribution via internet channels and/or streaming services. The documentary (working title UNTITLED BROWN TITLE IX SPORTS DOCUMENTARY), produced and directed by Brown undergraduates during the 2024 Spring and Fall semesters, was commissioned in 2023 to celebrate Brown’s female athletes across the university’s history, emphasizing female intercollegiate athletes of the past half-century. This unprecedented course, made possible by the generous support of Brown Athletics, led by the Chancellor Samuel M. Mencoff ’78 Vice President for Athletics and Recreation, M. Grace Calhoun ’92, Ph.D, will premiere at events commemorating the 50th anniversary of Ivy League Women Sports at the end of the 2024-2025 academic year.
