Voices of the West Apprenticeship Program

In partnership with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Spy Hop is able to bring the Voices of the West to rural regions of Utah.

The Future Belongs to You!

Now is the time to give yourself a head start and gain media production skills this summer through a paid media production apprenticeship with Spy Hop. We are seeking students ages 13-19 in Tooele, Blanding, Vernal, and Hurricane/La Verkin to enroll in a 1-week project-based program. Spy Hop’s professional teaching artists will provide instruction and training through hands-on projects using professional gear and software, all you need is excitement and a willingness to learn! Students who successfully complete the 1-week program will receive a $200 stipend.

Over the course of 1-week you will: 

  • Learn professional pre-production; write your story, plan your shot list, schedule your interviews, etc.  
  • Learn narrative and documentary filmmaking techniques
  • Learn how to use music and sound to enhance your films 

Spy Hop Gear:
We believe that access to high quality gear, technology and equipment should not be a barrier to being an active participant in your community. Therefore, Spy Hop has gear packages available to rent for FREE for any student who needs it in order to take a Spy Hop class. Gear can be picked up and dropped off at Spy Hop’s downtown facilities. Please direct any questions to Program Director, Jeremy Chatelain.
