Workshops on Wheels
We work with schools and community-based nonprofits to develop media production workshops for their students. The workshops provide hands-on training with professional equipment and guide the students in creating a promotional video for the organization, like the one produced with the youth of the United Playaz. For the United Playaz workshop, we facilitated four sessions that included creative development, production, planning and training, and two afternoons of filming.
