Successful THATCamp sessions all have an engaged set of campers. To facilitate the creation of topics to address at the camp, participants are encouraged to post topics here as well as to comment on proposals submitted by others. THATCamp facilitators will use these discussions to set the agenda for THATCamp NCPH — so speak up 🙂
We hope this dialogue will excite campers and help us prepare for an enriching THATCamp experience for everyone involved.

Michael Van Wagenen-
I am very interested in learning more about documentary filmmaking and historical filmmaking in general. I have an intermediate background in tv production and preparing for a masters in Public History. I signed up for THATcamp so i could learn more about filmmaking and history.

Hi Everyone! I worked professionally as a documentary filmmaker for several years before heading off for a Ph.D. in History. This is my first time at NCPH and I would love to discuss the current and future role of professional historians in documentary film and television with any interested individuals. I will be a couple of hours late for Wednesday’s camp. Some of my work is listed in the IMDB.com page above or feel free to email me: michael.vanwagenen at utb.edu
