I think it’s fair to say the Vail Valley is no longer the hidden gem it used to be, that is, when peering in from the outside. However, as a local, I’ve learned that there is still much to be discovered about its mixed bag of interesting people. That’s why I turned to digital storytelling, and with the help of High Five Access Media (HFAM), I’ve been able to share my own powerful stories. 

High Five Access Media invites you to support our efforts to Watch, Create, Educate and Advocate by donating to us on Colorado Gives Day, Dec.6, 2016. Your donation ensures we can continue to provide free media education workshops, free video production equipment for the community, and low-cost video production services so nonprofits can advance their cause.

Presented by Community First Foundation and FirstBank, Colorado Gives Day is an annual statewide movement to celebrate and increase philanthropy through online giving. To donate to High Five Access Media, visit Colorado Gives.

High Five Access Media announces a public forum featuring candidates for the 2016 Avon Town Council election.

The campaign season is expected to be lively with five candidates on the ballot to fill three slots. The event takes place Oct. 17 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Avon Town Council chambers at 1 Lake Street, Avon, Colorado. The forum will offer an opportunity for the Avon electorate to evaluate candidates in a side-by-side forum. Each candidate will have equal time to answer questions on a variety of topics, which will be presented by moderator Brian Sipes.

A great video production tool, but not the primary tool

As a video professional who works and plays on the mountain, I see countless point-of-view cameras like the GoPro strapped to helmets, ski poles, boards and more. But when you're telling a story through video, there's a misconception about these cameras; that they are a primary tool for capturing that sweet 360 or method air.

Public Access TV 5 is now High Five Access Media.

We have re-created ourselves with a new name, logo and website, www.highfivemedia.org, to show you the creative opportunities at local access media.

Celebrate the re-creation of community access television in the valley.

High Five Access Media, formerly Public Access TV 5, invites the community to join them Oct. 28 from 1 to 5 p.m. at Agave for a showcase of opportunities to get involved with local access television.
