Last Saturday we had our celebration screening for Moving Images. The turn out was fantastic! Over 60 students, family, and friends were in attendance. Brianda from session 1 and Sutton from session 2 hosted. We had some delicious refreshments donated by Black Sheep Bakery and Tazo Tea. The new executive director of Portland Community Media, Sylvia McDaniel, said a few words. OLLIE's director Laura also spoke and said what we've all been thinking- we're so proud of these kids! Everyone did an awesome job making creative, thought provoking films with wonderful stories. We showed all the videos from sessions 1 and 2, and gave each of the students in attendance a moment to talk about their projects. Many of the kids said it was harder than they expected it to be, but also very rewarding. I really hope all these kids keep making media, because they all have a great talent for it. Thanks again to everyone that helped with Moving Images and the screening! I'm so jazzed to be a part of this great program.
