Groups have ranged from political issues to monster movies, and the level of skill in the group depends on who is participating. In CCTV facilitated groups, it is the CCTV staff member(s) responsibility to lead the team through the production process. If you have taken some classes at CCTV and want a way to exercise your skills, or if you are interested in a particular topic, then one of the following groups may be right for you.

Field Production: Cambridge Event Coverage CCTV covers the events of local non-profit organizations who are either Organizational Members of the station or are not represented on our channels.

Documentary Production: Cambridge Shorts This production group will produce short documentaries about all-things CCTV Cambridge!

Kencaid’s artistic career began early in grade school where he was recognized for his talent with a second place award for creativity for an abstract drawing. He developed his wood burning technique by drawing a picture freehand, burning the wood with a soldering iron and then completing the painting with acrylics. His first piece was created in 1989. Each piece is masterfully crafted, painted with Recent Work a paper clip while taking up to 8 months to by Ellen complete.

The premise of the program is that MAC members will take turns hosting the show, featuring outside community organizations and groups on each episode.

The program was devised as a strategy to showcase local communities and organizations to viewers, while at the same time, bringing new people and organizations in to CCTV to learn about how CCTV operates, and how easy it is to get involved.

The show will start in January 2010, and run every other week on Thursdays at 5pm, until April. Prospective topics to be addressed on the show include: Black History Month, ethnic European communities in Cambridge, health, local youth centers, international youth in Cambridge, and more. Stay tuned to our channels and website to learn more about the program, and specific episodes.

Media Making at the Cambridge Senior Center

In November, CCTV offered a special training opportunity at the Cambridge Senior Center. The four- session class provided Cambridge seniors with a chance to learn the basics of media production. With guidance from CCTV Instructor Amy Mertl, participants Harry Chung, Maria Co, Pam McEarron, Jim Munofo, Sue Skoler, and Vinnie Wong produced an eight-minute video showcasing the wide variety of activities happening at the Cambridge Senior Center. Class participants interviewed staff and seniors about the center’s various educational and social opportunities, and videotaped a variety of activities such as ball- room dancing and exercise classes, and spaces like the pool room and the food pantry. Class participants are planning a community screening to be held at the Senior Center in January. The video will air on CCTV’s cable channels and is also available for viewing at www.cctvcambridge.org/seniorcenter. Clodagh Rule
