Winter '22 Production Cohort Info Session

​Ready to move your media project forward?

Twice a year we open up applications for folks to get dedicated production support on their projects. Join us at Open Signal to learn more about this opportunity from Community Media Cohort Facilitator Melissa Salazar and our Community Media team.

Our free production cohorts provide a support system for media makers with a story to tell. Work one-on-one with an Open Signal facilitator to determine your project needs — we offer training on video production (including post-production), equipment kits for check-out, and biweekly check-ins with your facilitator. Your facilitator will help you move through the production process and tailor our media education to your story.

Who can apply? This program is open to creatives who are underrepresented in mainstream media:

• Those who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)
• English-language learners
• People living with disabilities
• People living with low incomes (see if you qualify by looking at your household size under Multnomah County here​​)

This opportunity is also open to local nonprofit organizations who work with these communities. We also ask that applicants are Open Signal members and reside in the Portland Metro area.
