Seven West Virginia natives – a mix of filmmakers, journalists, advocacy leaders, cartographers and School of Journalism alumna – are jumpstarting a hybrid community participatory and interactive documentary called Hollow, which spotlights McDowell County and its residents.
To cover production costs, the group launched a campaign with Kickstarter, an online crowdfunding site, to raise $25,000, which includes workshop fees and the purchase of five cameras for participants.
