Community Talk: College Hacking

We were so excited to host our second community talk for the month of October. This month, Maya Hill, Executive Assistant at The Firehouse Dream facilities College Hacking. Maya has been able to attend college for low cost and wanted to teach her neighbors her tips and tricks. She talked about her story so far, what is college, and of course the tricks she used to go for low cost. We ended with a Q&A on the importance of educating students on their options besides college and decreasing the stigma against community college!

Thank you, Maya, for sharing your knowledge!

Film Workshop | Pre-production

Today Jeremy led the interns on the three steps in film production, in this workshop we learned pre-production. In the course of two and a half hours we collaborated on the most important step in the film making process. As we spent the time planning out a scholarship video for one of our interns, plotting out shots and equipment we would need for the second step in said process. We planned to use a dolly, a teleprompter, and three separate cameras to accomplish the result we intended.
