Many students go to college hoping to become filmmakers, but not many get firsthand experience with professional filmmaking that early in their career. Sawyer Carver is a sophomore at Augustana College in the Quad Cities.
Their short documentary on The Atlas Collective, a cafe and bookstore in Moline, is now on Roku. Carver joins the program along with the co-founder of a national organization focused on teaching filmmaking fundamentals to young people.
