Opening the Door to New Voices

About Me

The WGBH Lab offers a virtual and physical space for innovation and experimentation in the world of user-generated content. The Lab is both a resource and a community for media-makers of all kinds, where users interact as they watch, create, and collaborate on video work. The Lab has 3 programs: Open Call (a call for themed shorts), Sandbox (a vault of high-quality, open-source video clips) and Filmmakers in Residence (an in-house residency at WGBH). Come in, explore, and play!
