Getting the shot: MAPS students producing documentary to air on PBS – MAPS program turns pro-bono work into class

Setting up with two cameras and a boom mic, Ian Marquand walked into the Westview Center over and over and over again.

Some shots were soft on the focus. Other shots weren’t zoomed out far enough. Others were just shaky.

But they wanted to get things just right. After all, what a group of MAPS Media Institute students were working on Wednesday after school will be broadcast across all of Montana.

The state will be getting a taste of what MAPS has to offer when its documentary – "After the Bell: Inside the MAPS Media Institute" – airs on PBS next month, hosted by Marquand, a MAPS instructor.

The 26-minute program will air April 16 at 5 p.m., again the next day at 10:30 a.m. and a third time on May 27 at 11:30 a.m.

MAPS program turns pro-bono work into class

It seems like the perfect fit.

On one hand, instructors at MAPS Media Institute were looking for something to challenge their second-year students.

On the other, MAPS also wanted to continue giving back to the community.

The answer? Expanding its pro-bono work into a bona fide class.
