You can either spend thousands of dollars going to film school to learn the essentials of an ever-growing media industry—or you can join CLIMB at the Isaacs Center with their brand-new partnership with Manhattan Neighborhood Network.
CLIMB is offered through our Education and Workforce Training program. The partnership for this intensive internship and training began this fall, with an orientation that started at MMN’s uptown location at the historic Del Barrio House in Harlem and continued the following week at their new space near Hudson Yards. Students were introduced to the space, but most importantly, they were given workshops to preview everything they would be able to do in the program.
MNN and CLIMB will be teach students how to professionally handle equipment used for podcasting, TV, and film. Behind the computer, students will learn how to edit materials to production quality and have the opportunity to work with Unreal Engine, the main software behind top-rated video games and Oscar-winning animations.
The goal will be not only to acquire skills to work in the industry, but also to help those who have their own creative endeavors in mind. The only thing MNN asks is the right to premiere with them first; then the creator is free to place the content where they want. And the best thing: it is free of charge.
