This week I've been lucky enough to sit in on a session of the Hollywood Theatre's Project Youth Doc program. For those of you who haven't heard of this awesome organization, formerly known as Film Action Oregon, they provide top-of-the-line film production education to youth over a one month period. The instructors (two members of Wisdom's own production team!) cover everything from the basics of camera operation to post-production with Final Cut Pro. At the end of the month each group of youth in the program has produced a stellar documentary short which is ready to be screened on the big screen at the Hollywood Theatre - stay tuned for details about the screening in early Sept. and get excited to learn more about marijuana and teens, queer teens, and the 2012 apocalypse!
