Reel Voices Monarch
Pacific Arts Movement is honored to partner with Monarch School in Barrio Logan to launch a new media arts class for high school students interested in film production and digital storytelling. The elective course begins in April 2014 and is based on our successful Reel Voices program. Students will participate in film viewing, critical analysis, story development techniques, and exercises that encourage discovery and self-expression. With a hands-on approach, students will create their own digital short stories by the end of the semester.
For more information about the program, contact Glenn Heath, at glenn@pacarts.org.
The mission of the Monarch School is to educate students impacted by homelessness and to help them develop hope for the future with the necessary skills and experiences for personal success.
