‘Steal My Workflow:’ A short-form video workshop series

From Video Consortium x The Lenfest Institute’s Communities of Practice, we’re pulling back the curtain on how expert producers make short-form video journalism that hits, from the first spark of an idea to the moment you press publish. Come for real talk, real workflows, and real secrets — across every stage of the the pipeline: strategy, scripting, hosting, filming, and editing — all from VC members who’re in the field, doing this every day. Join us Thursdays from September 17 through October 22.
