Getting Involved: The Basics

How to get involved

1 – Attend an orientation: Come in for a monthly public orientation (check out the workshops page for dates). The orientation includes a tour of the facilities, an overview of DMA's services and policies. You may then sign up for membership and video training workshops.

2 – Sign up for membership: This entitles you to get trained in video production, use the media facilities and get your message out to your community!

3 – Take a production workshop: This will get you certified to borrow equipment and make reservations to use studios or editing suites. Conveniently offered on evenings and weekends, with some of the best prices around!

4 – Borrow equipment: Use DMA’s high-end cameras, editing stations, studios and more.

5 – Produce a show: You can work on your own idea or collaborate with others. However, programs must be non-commercial and non-obscene as defined by the FCC.

6 – Request air time: Once your program is completed, you may submit it to air on DCTV channel 15. DMA does not censor programming!
