The Carsey-Wolf Center’s Coastal Media Project is a nine-week summer intensive environmental media production and documentary studies program. Working in teams, students from a wide variety of backgrounds produce short documentary films that focus on our coastal environment. This twelve-credit program is designed to expand the way vital stories are told. It trains students to be thoughtful and informed environmental mediamakers with knowledge of documentary modes and a toolbox of possibilities for creative intervention, including hands-on training with state-of-the-art equipment.

The program culminates in an end of summer film premiere in UCSB’s Pollock Theater.
