Archival Production Courses & Workshops

As an archival producer, I lead dynamic, hands-on workshops focused on the art and craft of archival research. Participants explore creative approaches to sourcing and integrating archival media, while gaining a solid understanding of key legal topics such as fair use, public domain, rights, and clearances.

Sessions also cover practical and strategic elements—including organizing assets, budgeting, preparing deliverables (such as pitch bibles), and navigating the technical and ethical challenges archives face today, particularly in the age of AI.

As a filmmaker, I also offer workshops in the development, directing, and editing of documentary and nonfiction projects, tailored to creators at various stages of their careers.

Available in English and Spanish, workshops are designed for small groups (up to 20 participants) and can be customized by format:

1- or 2-day workshops

3- or 5-hour sessions

Introductory “101” consulting
