Project Info
Film making helps teens develop their creative and technical skills, while allowing them to express themselves through a media that transcends barriers in academic ability, literacy, language and cultural background. The filmmaking process is a great leveler where teens with special needs are often able to achieve on an equal footing with their typical peers. People with Autism / Aspergers have reported that the syndrome affects them in such a way that they perceive life in cinematic manners.
Your donation will help us provide a special multimedia course to 20 teens to teach them brainstorming, scripting, interviewing, directing, camera work, sound and animation. They will also learn vital social skills, as well as computer, film making and cineliteracy (the understanding and appreciation of film) skills. When young people are filming, they are framing their own world, allowing them to be self-defined rather than defined by other people. Through the film making process, we can motivate, empower and increase our students' confidence.
