WVIA "Our Town Carbondale" Documentary Preproduction Meeting - All Residents of Carbondale Invited PITTSTON, PA (wvia) - WVIA invites Carbondale residents to the "Our Town Carbondale" documentary film preproduction meeting, which will occur Wednesday, Jan. 18 at 5:30 p.m. at the Carbondale Chamber of Commerce located at 27 North Main Street in Carbondale, PA.

At the pre-production meeting, residents from the Carbondale area will discuss which landmarks, events and local stories the program should explore. WVIA will answer questions about the project during the meeting and ask the volunteer videographers and/or storytellers to narrow the list of subjects and events to videotape. WVIA hopes to recruit 20 to 25 area residents with personal camcorders. Resident videographers will then set off to videotape their pre-determined stories. The footage will then be used to make the "Our Town Carbondale" documentary.

Anyone interested in being a videographer and/or storyteller for the documentary should contact WVIA Our Town producer, Lisa Mazzarella, at 570-602-1164 or by e-mailing lisamazzarella@wvia.org.

"Our Town Carbondale" will be WVIA's 7th edition of its "Our Town" documentary series. The one-hour video scrapbook will focus on the people, places and happenings of Carbondale, PA., as seen through the eyes of its residents. "Our Town Carbondale" will premiere on Wednesday, April 18 at 8 p.m. on WVIA TV.

As northeastern Pennsylvania's public television station serving a very large geographic area, the "Our Town" project was initiated in an effort to involve the communities and their residents with WVIA. The "Our Town" documentary series is intended to treat viewers to the many personalities, perspectives, and possibilities that local towns have to offer.
