DOCUMENTARY CLUB
Documentarians record the real stories of real people, preserving it for the future to learn from. We are storytellers, sharing people's tales. We are journalists, loyal to the facts and informing the public. We are filmmakers, utilizing the full capabilities of the creative medium of film. We are researchers, finding reliable sources and checking what we think we know.
At Documentary Club, we seek out the stories of local people. From vertical short-form street interviews to full feature productions, Documentary Club is a place to learn about everything that goes into documentary-style media. This club is open to all UIUC students, regardless of major or prior experience. We will teach you to research, interview, film, and edit.
Documentary Club is a registered student organization at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.

WHAT DOES DC@UIUC DO?
We practice and teach skills for every part of the documentary production process. Members can participate in whichever roles they want, on whichever projects interest them. We are a newer club with a small membership, so we have plenty of opportunities open.
