Film Workshop | Production Day

Today the Interns worked with own Co-Founder and Board Member, Jeremy Lopez on all things film! Mariah, one of our Interns, had an opportunity to submit a scholarship video to her cosmetology school for two thousand dollars! The video features Mariah’s cosmetology dreams, but also many of our Interns first ever film shots! Thank you Jeremy for helping Mariah and teaching the Interns film!

Thank you Maya Hill, one of our Interns, for taking wonderful behind the scenes pictures!

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.

Handlettering Workshop by Delaina

Today Delaina led us through a handlettering workshop and it was so fun! We got to learn how to take our everyday handwriting and turn it into art! Thank you Delaina for leading us through your workshop!

Writing Workshop

Jessica led the Interns through a writing workshop about personal narratives. We learned about the power of our stories and how to craft them through different activities. In one of our activities, we all wrote a story based on our different ideas and sentences. We would all pass around a paper with a short sentence and try to make a story out of it. Thank you Jessica.

Thank so much Jessica Rivera, another one of our interns, for taking these pictures.

Progress Over Perfection Workshop

With Sarah from the non-profit, Yo Soy Ella, the interns learned about the value of overcoming perfectionism. They talked about their experiences with perfectionism and discussed ways to conquer it, such as switching to a growth mindset. Thank you Sarah for guiding us towards becoming comfortable with imperfection!
