Details

We believe that documentary film offers a unique opportunity to engage the creative power of community and amplify the voices of a largely unheard population. By partnering with the Boys and Girls Club, we aim to encourage critical thinking and media literacy skills, and to bridge the technology gap often found between inner-city youth and their suburban counterparts.

Project Timeline

The production phase of our project finished on the last day of the Boys & Girls Club's summer camp. We held a final screening to showcase the student's work, and had a quick feedback session. It was a smash success!

Help or Additional Resources Needed
