DO YOU HAVE A STORY 
TO TELL? 

Do you have a Sierra Madre memory to tell? This is your 
chance to have it recorded on video and stored at state 
and local archives. You will be part of the state historical 
record! AND there will be a presentation here in town of 
all the Sierra Madre videos created.

 Sierra Madre Historical Preservation Society members 
have regaled us with all kinds of wonderful memories of 
their lives in town – we know you have stories to tell! If 
you were raised here, what experiences and adventures 
did you have? If you moved to Sierra Madre, what was 
it like then compared to now? Do you have a memory 
connected to a place, or to a person – maybe a leading 
citizen of our town, or even a local character? These are 
just a few ideas to get you thinking what memory you’d 
like to tell.

 Part of this memory-gathering project, California 
Listens, is a free 2-day workshop to create your little video 
(photos or memorabilia relating to your story are a big 
plus!). The workshop team will work with you all the way 
through, and you’ll end up with skills that could be useful 
for recording memories for your family, or doing other 
video projects. The California Listens Digital Storytelling 
Workshop is set for Friday and Saturday May 11-12, 2018 
from 9 am to 5 pm at City Hall, located at 232 W. Sierra 
Madre Blvd. in Sierra Madre.

 In the workshop, participants will make a short video 
on a computer and will learn: how to make a great video 
story, how to write a narration script and record it, how 
to prepare a visual treatment for a story, and the basics of 
video editing in WeVideo. Powerful and fun! Anyone can 
contribute regardless of experience or technical level.

 The deadline to apply is April 28th. To apply, 
visit: storycenter.org/sierramadre or submit a paper 
application to the Sierra Madre Public Library. You can 
drop your application off at the library or mail it to them 
(Sierra Madre Public Library, 440 W. Sierra Madre Blvd. 
Sierra Madre, CA 91024). Or you can apply online at the 
website storycenter.org/sierramadre.

 The workshop is free, but pre-registration is required. 
Those taking part must commit to preparation time, 
attendance during the entire two days. 

 Collected video stories will be shared at a presentation 
during the summer and will become part of state and local 
archives of stories about what it means to be Californian.
