Sacred Heart Guerilla Films... Screened

5.11.06 We screened the films the kids created for the Sacred Heart Guerilla Filmmaking Class in the Multipurpose room on Sheridan. Fig leads and facilitates a filmmaking class for this neighborhood school. Three of the directors (Seamus, Mason and Leo) directors showed up for the exhibit. They were a little nervous but did a great job sharing their work. We introduced ourselves, showed the films and took questions from the audience. We had a great audience with parents, friends, sibs and teachers everyone was hooting and hollering during the show. It was so cool to see the finished products up on the screen and get to review the whole experience. All the hard work and learning challenges fade when seeing the visions up on the screen. The pieces were great thanks to the love and editing of Melissa Martens. Melissa facilitated the creative process and pulled all the projects together in a neat package. These young directors are an inspiration, their energy and fluidity is contageous, their humor and spontaniety so compelling. I am looking forward to seeing their next pieces. Stay tuned for the screening of documentary efforts in early June, this ought to be a little crazy.
