BCM can work with you to meld social media marketing with your existing advertising and outreach approaches.
BCM previously operated the Boulder public access and educational access cable TV channels. BCM was charged with providing community-based educational services to students of all ages in the Boulder Valley and beyond. While BCM no longer operates the TV station, it continues to provide community-based teaching on an individual basis or for groups. BCM works closely with local school districts, colleges and universities to develop “hands-on” practical out-of-school learning opportunities in all facets of production, behind and in front of the camera. Student teams produce programs for community TV channels and web streaming.BCM has taught students at the University of Colorado Boulder Journalism Department; Boulder Valley School District – Fairview High School International Baccalaureate students; Boulder International Film Festival Student Advisors; The Shoot Out Boulder 24 hour filmmaking festival teams.
Boulder Community Media (BCM) managed 4,000 sq ft in the Boulder Creative Media-Plex located a half-block off the Pearl Street Mall in Downtown Boulder, Colorado. It was closed when the lease expired in 2010. The Boulder MediaPlex was a creative environment in which BCM conducted its community education sessions about video production, storytelling, for students of all ages. The MediaPlex included offices for other resident producers, editors; a production space, screening room / meeting /classroom for teaching, networking and collaboration. BCM provided experiential learning through “hands-on” use of equipment, writing stories and seeing their work on the screen. Wyoming Community Media (WCM), the sister organization to BCM, plans to resurrect the Creative MediaPlex as a part of the Hynds Capitol Core project. The MediaPlex will consist of a home for the creative community education programs it has been developing over the past few years in Cheyenne.
