Media
Team Project
CIAD trained a group of residents to use
professional cameras, sound equipment, lighting
equipment, and editing programs in order to create a
series of high-quality, resident-directed documentary
and public education films about adult homes.
The project was funded by the New York
Community Trust and a Manhattan Neighborhood Network
(MNN) Community Media Grant. CIAD members were able to
learn the basics of producing and editing from MNN's
Community Media Program. For more information about MNN

Our series of documentary and public
education videos include:
-
