Movies by Kids!
The Project just hosted its third annual Filmmaking workshop in February. In the course of a one-week school break, three kids (Ginaija Hires, Maria Martinez, and Andry Moreno) and their adult partners (Charly Evon Simpson, George Babiak, and Michael Stahl-David) were each assigned adult professional actors (Wrenn Schmidt, Carl Louis Hendricks, David Costabile, Emma Ramos, Jose Aguila, and Tina Chilip) and charged to create a short film. The kids wrote screenplays, drew storyboards, picked costumes and locations, operated the cameras, and did a LOT of editing. The movies are posted for your delight and wonder. Check them out right here! And if that isn’t enough, you can also see films from earlier years on the same page.
