This free, unique art program partners participating schools with an experienced film making Artists-in-Residence (AIR) who will teach students the basics of filmmaking and the art of storytelling. Students will experience shooting videos using an iPhone and editing in iMovie creating original films in four possible categories: animation, documentary, public service announcement and live action. Vintage students will work in small groups to produce videos to submit to the MMtM Short Youth Film Festival which will take place in May (to be announced).
