Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Working with professional filmmakers, high school students will design, implement and run a summer film camp that will make film more accessible to their peers as a storytelling medium and bring a diversity of youth together to create short films. Student surveys will show that 95% of camp participants will feel they have developed the ability to create a story through film and that 80% of the youth will feel they have learned collaboration and communication skills that enable them to effectively work together on an artistic team. Evaluation methods will include student surveys, fist to five assessments after every meeting, a consideration of the number of short films produced and evaluation of those short films and the creation process by the student filmmakers, their peers and the professional artists.

Measurable Outcome(s)

2/3 of our students did not have previous experience with creating a film from script to screen before the camp. In post-surveys after the camp, 95% stated they had gained skills including the ability to commit to deadlines, create a previz, do sound design, write, act, shoot and edit. 100% said on the post-survey that they felt a part of a community of artists and be their authentic selves.
