SUBMITTED

WNIT Public Television is now accepting volunteer videographers from the Buchanan area, through June 2.
Those interested will help bring to life the unique story of the rich and vibrant city of Buchanan for the upcoming documentary, “Our Town: Buchanan,” premiering Monday, July 17.
Interested individuals are encouraged to contact WNIT Senior Producer/Director Brenda Bowyer at the WNIT Public Television Station.
WNIT’s “Our Town” series is all about the towns and the people within them who help tell the stories of what makes their corner of the world unique.
Each individual series shows everything from historical sites to traditional high school hangouts, churches, downtown, restaurants, traditions and other special places that are known to locals.
What sets the “Our Town” series apart from other documentaries is that the towns’ stories are told through the eyes of the people who live and work there.
With the help of volunteer videographers and a little training from WNIT’s professional award-winning production team, ordinary citizens become volunteer videographers and film their own creative scrapbook. WNIT’s professional staff edits the video recordings and combines them with interviews to create a storybook of “Our Town.”
Videotaping and editing results in a one-hour documentary that reflects the emotional ties of the people who live, love and are passionate about their town.
In the end, if they have done the job correctly, their town becomes “Our Town: Buchanan,” at 8 p.m. Monday, July, 17, on WNIT channel 34.1
