Multimedia Resources and Training Institute (MMRTI) Grants

Multimedia Resources and Training Institute (MMRTI)

MMRTI's Digital Storytelling in the Time of COVID-19 (DSTC-19) project will engage eight youth interns and a variety of professional instructors to capture and document the local COVID-19 pandemic experience in the form of a one-hour documentary featuring stories from local underserved and underrepresented communities in the African American, Asian American and East African immigrant and refugee community. In addition, we will broaden the conversation through facilitated panel discussions where community members will be able to share their own stories and make connections with one another. The project will be completed by June of 2022.

Multimedia Resources Training Institute will create a 1 hour documentary, 30 photo portraits, and other multimedia projects produced by youth interns.  They will focus on Seattle's Central Area, a Historic Arts and Cultural District. The project will empower youth to act as community advocates through photography and video.
