Step 1: Orientation + Membership
Your journey at Open Signal starts with attending an orientation. Become an Open Signal member and learn about our education offerings and library of resources. Orientation is a prerequisite for taking our classes and using our equipment and studios. Find dates and register to attend here.
Step 2: Learn!
As an Open Signal member, you can attend any of our free media education classes. Once you've completed a class, you'll become a certified producer — meaning that you can check out equipment or book time in our studios to start producing your own content for cable broadcast! You're also invited to monthly member meet ups and special events, where you can connect with Portland's vibrant media arts community.
If you'd like dedicated support on a media project, consider applying for our production cohorts.
Step 3: Create!
As a certified producer, you can access our library of production equipment or studios at no cost. Start a web series, work on that documentary you've always wanted to make, film a music video — make it happen with the support of Open Signal's resource library and staff. Studio-certified producers are invited to join the crew on our weekly community-led productions, Open Playground.
Step 4: Broadcast Your Work on Our Cable Channels
Open Signal broadcasts work made in our community 24 hours a day. Find citizen journalism, independent films and TV shows from local voices — add yours! Submit your content for television broadcast to broadcast it to the world. Watch on your TV screen or stream online.
