+Impact Studio Filmmaking Studio on Wheels, Pop Up Docs, Places Its Vision in the Hands of Detroit Youth!
By Katie Moore (BA ’25) and Loren Townes Jr.
+Impact Studio-supported venture Pop Up Docs (PUD) is making waves in southeast Michigan following several successful listening sessions and prototyping workshops. Founded by Jarrad Henderson, a 4x Emmy award-winning visual journalist and current Knight Wallace Fellow ’23 at the University of Michigan, Pop Up Docs is a filmmaking and video editing studio on wheels that provides skills-building workshops for people from underrepresented populations to give them academic and economic opportunities. Described as MasterClass meets bookmobile, the venture aims towards democratizing filmmaking in production and post-production and is moving full steam ahead in its early stages of development!
