Hey if you missed the screening last Thursday of the Student Film Showcase at the Belcourt Theatre with films created in the Enlightenment Film Academy's summer youth workforce program in partnership with MAC/Power Youth, I will charge it to your head and not your heart.
Here is the link to the YouTube page where all the EFA films can be seen including last year's: https://www.youtube.com/
Enjoy!

Esmerelda is all about that grip life!
Huge thanks to Key Grip Darryl Wilson for spending the day with us and bringing out the gear to demo with our kids. Having working professionals from the motion picture industry is a core part of our program, and we appreciate everyone who helps us with this segment of our program.

It’s been a busy summer with our job training partnership with MAC/Power Youth Program. We were excited to have Key Grip Darryl Wilson come out to teach our kids how to use some of the equipment.
