About this FieldTrip

Learn basic camera and audio techniques, interview skills and editing fundamentals to document this unprecedented time in our history. Utilize this time to brush up on your content creation skills to document your own experiences in this time of social distancing or learn how to conduct and capture a fascinating interview. Together we can capture vast stories of triumph and hardship and every day life in this strange time.

About your Host

Alexandria Bordas has spent the past eight years as a journalist working in newsrooms across the country - from the mountains of rural Western North Carolina, to the coast of Miami and, most recently, in Santa Rosa. Alexandria brings her strength of storytelling and passion for highlighting the stories of those underrepresented in the media.

Reel Stories is the only female and non-binary owned and operated film training program led by professionals. For 8 years we have trained thousands of young women and non-binary folks to create media that matters to them. Since the shelter in place order we have moved our training online and in just three weeks we have already taught hundreds of folks virtually.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
